PROGRAMME:
1. Vortex Filament Equation: the localized induction approximation of Biot-Savart Integral and Hasimoto transformation.
2. Self-similar solutions: characterization and their connection with the case of regular polygons. The turbulence of non-circular jets. Non-linear Talbot effect
3. Skew polygonal lines: self-similar solutions have finite energy. Formation of singularities and continuation of the solutions beyond the blow-up time.

ABSTRACT:
We propose the vortex filament equation as a possible toy model for turbulence, in particular because of its striking similarity to the dynamics of non-circular jets. This similarity implies the existence of some type of Talbot effect due to the interaction of non-linear waves that propagate along the filament. Another consequence of this interaction is the existence of a new class of multi-fractal sets that can be seen as a generalization of the graph of Riemann´s non-differentiable function. Theoretical and numerical arguments about the transfer of energy will be also given. This a joint work with V. Banica and F. de la Hoz.
