In this paper, we study the radial symmetry properties of stationary and uniformly-rotating solutions of the 2D Euler and gSQG equations, both in the smooth setting and the patch setting. For the 2D Euler equation, we show that any smooth…
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…
This paper deals with the existence of $N$ vortex patches located at the vertex of a regular polygon with $N$ sides that rotate around the center of the polygon at a constant angular velocity. That is done for Euler and (SQG)$_\beta$…

We prove the existence of time quasi-periodic vortex patch solutions of the 2$d$-Euler equations in $\mathbb{R}^2$, close to uniformly rotating Kirchhoff elliptical vortices, with aspect ratios belonging to a set of asymptotically full…
The generalized surface quasi-geostrophic (GSQG) equations are transport equations for an active scalar that depend on a parameter $0<\alpha \le 2$. Special cases are the two-dimensional incompressible Euler equations ($\alpha = 2$) and the…
We consider concentrated vorticities for the Euler equation on a smooth domain $\Omega \subset \mathbf{R}^2$ in the form of \[ \omega = \sum_{j=1}^N \omega_j \chi_{\Omega_j}, \quad |\Omega_j| = \pi r_j^2, \quad \int_{\Omega_j} \omega_j d\mu…
In this paper we construct a family of steady symmetric vortex patches for the incompressible Euler equations in an open disk. The result is obtained by studying a variational problem in which the kinetic energy of the fluid is maximized…
In "Global regularity for vortex patches" (Commun. Math. Phys. 1993), Bertozzi and Constantin formulate the vortex patch problem in the level-set framework and prove a priori estimates for this active scalar equation. By extending the tools…
This paper addresses the existence of vortex sheets for the SQG equation. More precisely, we construct a family of stationary vortex sheet solutions that are concentrated on curves that are small perturbations of circles centered on a given…
The Sadovskii vortex patch is a traveling wave for the two-dimensional incompressible Euler equations consisting of an odd symmetric pair of vortex patches touching the symmetry axis. Its existence was first suggested by numerical…
It is well known that the boundary dynamics of vortex patches is globally well-posed in the H\"older space $C^{1,\alpha}$ for $0<\alpha<1$, whereas the well-posedness in $C^1$ remains an open problem, even locally. In this paper, we…

We rigorously construct the first steady traveling wave solutions of the 2D incompressible Euler equation that take the form of a contiguous vortex-patch dipole, which can be viewed as the vortex-patch counterpart of the well-known…
In this paper, we revisit the patch solutions for a class of inviscid whole-space active scalar equations that interpolate between the 2D Euler equation and the $\alpha$-SQG equation. Compared with the 2D Euler equation in vorticity form,…
We study the rate of growth of sharp fronts of the Quasi-geostrophic equation and 2D incompressible Euler equations.. The development of sharp fronts are due to a mechanism that piles up level sets very fast. Under a semi-uniform collapse,…
We investigate a steady planar flow of an ideal fluid in a (bounded or unbounded) domain $\Omega\subset \mathbb{R}^2$. Let $\kappa_i\not=0$, $i=1,\ldots, m$, be $m$ arbitrary fixed constants. For any given non-degenerate critical point…

It is well known that the Euler vortex patch in $\mathbb{R}^{2}$ will remain regular if it is regular enough initially. In bounded domains, the regularity theory for patch solutions is less complete. In this paper, we study Euler vortex…
