We present evidence on global existence of solutions of De Gregorio's equation, based on numerical computation and a mathematical criterion analogous to the BealeKato-Majda theorem. Its meaning in the context of a generalized Constantin-LaxMajda equation will be discussed. We then argue that the convection term can deplete solutions of blow-up.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
