| contents | We derive the spin Euler equation for ideal flows by applying the spherical Clebsch mapping. This equation is based on the spin vector rather than the velocity. It enables a feasible Lagrangian study of fluid dynamics, as the isosurface of a spin-vector component is a vortex surface and material surface in ideal flows. The spin Euler equation is also equivalent to a special case of the Landau-Lifshitz equation with a specific effective magnetic field, revealing a possible connection between ideal flow and magnetic crystal. We conduct direct numerical simulations of three ideal flows of the vortex knot, vortex link and modified Taylor-Green flow by solving the spin Euler equation. The evolution of the Lagrangian vortex surface illustrates that the regions with large vorticity are rapidly stretched into spiral sheets. We establish a non-blowup criterion for the spin Euler equation, suggesting that the Laplacian of the spin vector must diverge if the solution forms a singularity at some finite time. The DNS result exhibits a pronounced double-exponential growth of the maximum norm of Laplacian of the spin vector, showing no evidence of the finite-time singularity formation if the double-exponential growth holds at later times. Moreover, the present criterion with Lagrangian nature appears to be more sensitive than the Beale-Kato-Majda criterion in detecting the flows that are incapable of producing finite-time singularities. |
