While the 2D Euler equations incorporate
neither dissipation nor entropy increase and
even possess a Hamiltonian structure, they
exhibit damping close to linear shear flows.
The mechanism behind this "inviscid
exhibit damping close to linear shear flows.
The mechanism behind this "inviscid
damping" phenomenon is closely related to
Landau damping in plasma physics.
In this talk I give a proof of linear stability,
In this talk I give a proof of linear stability,
scattering and damping for general
monotone shear flows, both in the setting
of an infinite periodic channel and a finite
periodic channel with impermeable walls.
