Abstract
The Lamb–Chaplygin dipole (Lamb, Hydrodynamics , 2nd edn, 1895, Cambridge University Press; Lamb, Hydrodynamics , 3rd edn, 1906, Cambridge University Press; Chaplygin, Trudy Otd. Fiz. Nauk Imper. Mosk. Obshch. Lyub. Estest. , vol. 11, 1903, pp. 11–14) is one of the few closed-form relative equilibrium solutions of the two-dimensional (2-D) Euler equation characterized by a continuous vorticity distribution. We consider the problem of its linear stability with respect to 2-D circulation-preserving perturbations. It is demonstrated that this flow is linearly unstable, although the nature of this instability is subtle and cannot be fully understood without accounting for infinite-dimensional aspects of the problem. To elucidate this, we first derive a convenient form of the linearized Euler equation defined within the vortex core which accounts for the potential flow outside the core while making it possible to track deformations of the vortical region. The linear stability of the flow is then determined by the spectrum of the corresponding operator. Asymptotic analysis of the associated eigenvalue problem shows the existence of approximate eigenfunctions in the form of short-wavelength oscillations localized near the boundary of the vortex and these findings are confirmed by the numerical solution of the eigenvalue problem. However, the time integration of the 2-D Euler system reveals the existence of only one linearly unstable eigenmode and since the corresponding eigenvalue is embedded in the essential spectrum of the operator, this unstable eigenmode is also shown to be a distribution characterized by short-wavelength oscillations rather than a smooth function. These findings are consistent with the general results known about the stability of equilibria in 2-D Euler flows and have been verified by performing computations with different numerical resolutions and arithmetic precisions.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
