Abstract

This paper addresses the long-time dynamics of solutions to the 2D incompressible Euler equations. We construct solutions with continuous vorticity ωε(x,t)\omega_{\varepsilon}(x,t) concentrated around points ξj(t)\xi_{j}(t) that converge to a sum of Dirac delta masses as ε0\varepsilon\to0. These solutions are associated with the Kirchhoff-Routh point-vortex system, and the points ξj(t)\xi_{j}(t) follow an expanding self similar trajectory of spirals, with the support of the vorticities contained in balls of radius 3ε3\varepsilon around each ξj\xi_{j}.
