On Singular Vortex Patches, II: Long-time dynamics

30 Sep 2019 · Elgindi Tarek M., Jeong In-Jee ·

In a companion paper, we gave a detailed account of the well-posedness theory for singular vortex patches. Here, we discuss the long-time dynamics of some of the classes of vortex patches we showed to be globally well-posed in the companion work. In particular, we give examples of time-periodic behavior, cusp formation in infinite time at an exponential rate, and spiral formation in infinite time.
