Abstract
En 中文
We consider the dynamics of a two-dimensional incompressible perfect fluid on a Mobius strip embedded in R-3. The vorticity-stream function formulation of the Euler equations is derived from an exterior-calculus form of the momentum equation. The non-orientability of the Mobius strip and the distinction between forms and pseudo-forms this introduces lead to unusual properties: a boundary condition is provided by the conservation of circulation along the single boundary of the strip, and there is no integral conservation for the vorticity density or for any odd function thereof. A finite-difference numerical implementation is used to illustrate the Mobius-strip realisation of familiar phenomena: translation of vortices along boundaries, shear instability and decaying turbulence.
