Abstract

In this paper, we continue to construct stationary classical solutions of the incompressible Euler equation approximating singular stationary solutions of this equation. This procedure now is carried out by constructing solutions to the following elliptic problem {cases} -\ep^2 \Delta u=(u-q-\frac{\kappa}{2\pi}\ln\frac{1}{\ep})_+^p-(q-\frac{\kappa}{2\pi}\ln\frac{1}{\ep}-u)_+^p, \quad & x\in\Omega, u=0, \quad & x\in\partial\Omega, {cases} where p>1p>1, ΩR2\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^2 is a bounded domain, qq is a harmonic function. We showed that if Ω\Omega is a simply-connected smooth domain, then for any given non-degenerate critical point of Kirchhoff-Routh function W(x1+,...,xm+,x1,...,xn)\mathcal{W}(x_1^+,...,x_m^+,x_1^-,...,x_n^-) with κi+=κ>0(i=1,...,m)\kappa^+_i=\kappa>0\,(i=1,...,m) and κj=κ(j=1,...,n)\kappa^-_j=-\kappa\,(j=1,...,n), there is a stationary classical solution approximating stationary m+nm+n points vortex solution of incompressible Euler equations with total vorticity (mn)κ(m-n)\kappa.
