Abstract:
Exact solutions of Euler equations that describe the motion of an ideal incompressible fluid with quadratic pressure are studied. The solutions are described by explicit formulas and can be physically interpreted. The dynamics of a spherical fluid volume is studied for specified initial velocity fields. It is shown that under certain initial conditions, the spherical volume can evolve into a torus-shaped body, thereby changing the connectivity of the region occupied by the fluid.
