We construct a family of rotating vortex patches with fixed angular velocity for the two-dimensional Euler equations in a disk. As the vorticity strength goes to infinity, the limit of these rotating vortex patches is a rotating point…

We study vortex patches for the 2D incompressible Euler equations. Prior works on this problem take the support of the vorticity (i.e., the vortex patch) to be a bounded region. We instead consider the horizontally periodic setting. This…
