Hamel–Nadirashvili's one-stagnation-point circular-flow conjecture
Hamel–Nadirashvili's one-stagnation-point 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 solve the stationary two-dimensional Euler equations in , with on .
Hamel–Nadirashvili's weaker conjecture. If is the only stagnation point of in , meaning that and in , then is the origin and is a circular flow.
This weaker version is presented as more promising than the punctured-disk conjecture, while still asserting that a steady flow with exactly one interior stagnation point must be centered and circular.
