Abstract

front solutions local well-posedness surface quasigeostrophic equation unbounded patch solutions
<p>We study solutions to the alpha-SQG equations, which interpolate between the incompressible Euler and surface quasi-geostrophic equations. We extend prior results on existence of bounded patches, proving propagation of Hk-regularity of the patch boundary, k >= 3, for finite time for patches that are periodic in one spatial dimension. Such periodic patches also encompass layers, or two-sided fronts. As the authors have treated the Euler case in prior work, we now primarily focus on the range of alpha for which alpha-SQG lies strictly between the Euler and SQG equations.</p>
