Existence of steady symmetric vortex patch in a disk
Abstract
In this paper we construct a family of steady symmetric vortex patches for the incompressible Euler equations in an open disk. The result is obtained by studying a variational problem in which the kinetic energy of the fluid is maximized subject to some appropriate constraints for the vorticity. Moreover, we show that these vortex patches shrink to a given minimum point of the corresponding Kirchhoff-Routh function as the vorticity strength parameter goes to infinity.
