Abstract

In this paper, we consider the time evolution of an ideal fluid in a planar bounded domain. We prove that if the initial vorticity is supported in a sufficiently small region with diameter ε\varepsilon, then the time evolved vorticity is also supported in a small region with diameter dd, dCεαd\leq C\varepsilon^{\alpha} for any α<13\alpha<\frac{1}{3}, and the center of the vorticity tends to the point vortex, the motion of which is described by the Kirchhoff-Routh equation.
