We study explicit solutions to the 2 dimensional Euler equations in the Lagrangian framework. All known solutions have been of the separation of variables type, where time and space dependence are treated separately. The first such solutions were known already in the 19th century. We show that all the solutions known previously belong to two families of solutions and introduce three new families of solutions. It seems likely that these are all the solutions that are of the separation of variables type.
We introduce many families of explicit solutions to the three dimensional incompressible Euler equations for nonviscous fluid flows using the Lagrangian framework. Almost no exact Lagrangian solutions exist in the literature prior to this study. We search for solutions where the time component and the spatial component are separated, applying the same ideas we used previously in the two dimensional case. We show a general method to derive separate constraint equations for the spatial component and the time component. Using this provides us with a plenty of solution sets exhibiting several different types of fluid behaviour, but since they are computationally heavy to analyze, we have to restrict deeper analysis to the most interesting cases only. It is also possible and perhaps even probable that there exist more solutions of the separation of variables type beyond what we have found.

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.
