Abstract: We present a theoretical framework for unidirectional electromagnetohydrodynamic flow of dilute electrolytes under perpendicular magnetic fields. Starting from the Navier--Stokes equation coupled with the Poisson--Nernst--Planck formulation, we show that the problem admits a sequential decoupling: the Stokes equation is solved first to obtain the velocity profile, which defines a hydrodynamic potential entering the Nernst--Planck description of ions. This Lorentz-force-induced potential competes with electrostatic attraction and significantly alters ionic distributions. We analyze this mechanism in two canonical geometries. In planar Couette shear, it produces a Manning--Oosawa-like condensation transition in one dimension, a phenomenon absent in classical electrostatics. We derive an eigenvalue equation predicting a sharp threshold between counterion enrichment and depletion at the charged wall. In cylindrical Taylor--Couette flow, the same effect shifts the classical Manning criterion by a magnetic parameter, enabling tunable control of condensation. These findings extend Manning--Oosawa phenomenology to driven, non-equilibrium systems and provide a basis for magnetic manipulation of screening in electrolytes, with implications for microfluidics, electrochemical systems, and nonlinear boundary-value theory.

Self-focusing of helicity drives finite-time singularities in inviscid flows

Abstract: This paper deals with the longstanding quest of the possible existence of finite-time singularities in the equations governing the dynamics of inviscid fluids, namely, Euler equations. Here, two contributions are brought for the case of perfect fluids with finite initial energy. First, a self-similar velocity field inspired by Leray Ansatz is proposed which allows for a separation of variables that transforms the original partial differential Euler equations to a nonlinear system of ordinary differential equations. This system can be solved semi-analytically and allows a continuum set of solutions parametrised by a self-similar exponent, $\nu$. Second, we use the conservation laws of Euler equations to select the possible finite-time singular solutions and the related self-similar exponents. We find that the helicity is the driving mechanism of the blow-up through a self-focusing mechanism. The flow near the singularity separates into two phases. A first phase is within a tubular region that shrinks as a power-law $(t_c-t)^\nu$, with $t_c$ the blow-up time, where the helicity is focused. This region is separated by a sharp interface from an outer region where the vorticity, and thus helicity, is identically zero. We found that the finite-time singularity may be either point-like or line-like depending on the dynamics of the tubular region along its axis of symmetry. Incidentally for a point-like singularity we recover the Leray scaling $\nu=1/2$ paving the way to a generalisation of this approach for the Navier-Stokes equations. Finally, we conjecture that if the helicity vanishes initially, no finite-time singularity would be possible, since in this case the singularity occurs at infinite time from the initial condition.
