Abstract
In this paper we use maximum principle in the far field region for the time dependent self-similar Euler equations to exclude discretely self-similar blow-up for the Euler equations of the incompressible fluid flows. Our decay conditions near spatial infinity of the blow-up profile are given explicitly in terms the coefficient in the equations. We also deduce triviality of the discretely self-similar solution to the magnetohydrodynamic system, under suitable decay conditions near spatial infinity than the previous one. Applying similar argument directly to the Euler equations, we obtain a priori estimate of the vorticity in the far field region.
