Abstract

We consider the two-dimensional Euler equations in non-smooth domains with corners. It is shown that if the angle of the corner θ\theta is strictly less than π/2\pi/2, the Lipschitz estimate of the vorticity at the corner is at most single exponential growth and the upper bound is sharp. %near the stagnation point. For the corner with the larger angle π/2<θ<2π\pi/2 < \theta <2\pi, θπ\theta \neq \pi, we construct an example of the vorticity which loses continuity instantaneously. For the case θπ/2\theta \le \pi/2, the vorticity remains continuous inside the domain. We thus identify the threshold of the angle for the vorticity maintaining the continuity. For the borderline angle θ=π/2\theta=\pi/2, it is also shown that the growth rate of the Lipschitz constant of the vorticity can be double exponential, which is the same as in Kiselev-Sverak's result (Annals of Math., 2014).
