Hamel–Nadirashvili's punctured-disk circular-flow conjecture
Hamel–Nadirashvili's punctured-disk circular-flow conjecture
Let be an open non-empty disk of radius centered at the origin, and let be the outward unit normal on . A flow is circular if is parallel to for every . Let and let be a and bounded flow solving the stationary two-dimensional Euler equations in , with on .
Hamel–Nadirashvili's conjecture. If in , then is the origin and is a circular flow.
This conjecture concerns whether a nonvanishing bounded steady flow in a disk punctured at one point must have its puncture at the center and be circular. The source describes it as difficult to prove and attributes it to Hamel and Nadirashvili.
