The growth of the vorticity gradient for the two-dimensional Euler flows on domains with corners

preprint2016arXivOpen access

Abstract

We consider the two-dimensional Euler equations in non-smooth domains with corners. It is shown that if the angle of the corner θθ is strictly less than π/2π/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<2ππ/2 < θ<2π, θ≠πθ\neq π, we construct an example of the vorticity which loses continuity instantaneously. For the case θ≤π/2θ\le π/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/2θ=π/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).
