Abstract

In this paper, we derive some quantitative estimates for uniformly-rotating vortex patches. We prove that if a non-radial simply-connected patch DD is uniformly-rotating with small angular velocity 0<Ω10 < \Omega \ll 1, then the outmost point of the patch must be far from the center of rotation, with distance at least of order Ω1/2\Omega^{-1/2}. For mm-fold symmetric simply-connected rotating patches, we show that their angular velocity must be close to 12\frac{1}{2} for m1m\gg 1 with the difference at most O(1/m)O(1/m), and also obtain estimates on LL^{\infty} norm of the polar graph which parametrizes the boundary.
