Abstract

We review two formulations of the fully nonlinear local induction equation approximating the self-induced motion of the vortex filament (in the local induction approximation), corresponding to the Cartesian and arc-length coordinate systems. The arc-length representation put forth by Umeki [Theor. Comput. Fluid Dyn. 24, 383 (2010)] results in a type of 1 + 1 derivative nonlinear Schrodinger (NLS) equation describing the motion of such a vortex filament. We obtain exact stationary solutions to this derivative NLS equation; such exact solutions are a rarity. These solutions are periodic in space and we determine the nonlinear dependence of the period on the amplitude.
