Abstract

Consider a random initial vorticity ω0(x)=nZ2anϕ(xn)\omega_0(x) = \sum_{n\in \mathbb{Z}^2} a_n \phi(x-n), where ϕ\phi is bounded and compactly supported and {an}\{a_n\} are independent, uniformly bounded, mean 00, variance 11 random variables (i.e. ω0\omega_0 is an array of randomly weighted vortex blobs). We prove global well-posedness of weak solutions to the Euler equations in R2\mathbf{R}^2 for almost every such initial vorticity. The main contribution of our work is the construction of a corresponding initial velocity field that grows slowly at infinity, which enables us to apply a recent well-posedness result of Cobb and Koch.
