Abstract

ABSTRACTThis papers deals with the large time behavior of solutions of the incompressible Euler equations in dimension 2. We consider a self-similar configuration of point vortices which grows like the square root of the time. We study the confinement properties of a blob of vorticity initially located around the first point vortex and moving in the velocity field produced by itself and by the other point vortices. We find a sufficient condition on the point vortices such that the vorticity stays confined around the first point vortex at a rate better than the square root of the time. The relevance to the large time behavior of the Euler equations is discussed.
