An Expanding Self-Similar Vortex Configuration for the 2D Euler Equations (2410.18220v1)

Abstract: This paper addresses the long-time dynamics of solutions to the 2D incompressible Euler equations. We construct solutions with continuous vorticity $\omega_{\varepsilon}(x,t)$ concentrated around points $\xi_{j}(t)$ that converge to a sum of Dirac delta masses as $\varepsilon\to0$. These solutions are associated with the Kirchhoff-Routh point-vortex system, and the points $\xi_{j}(t)$ follow an expanding self similar trajectory of spirals, with the support of the vorticities contained in balls of radius $3\varepsilon$ around each $\xi_{j}$.
