Abstract:

We consider a new vortex approximation for solving the initial-value problem for the Euler equations in two dimensions. We assume there exists a smooth solution to these equations and that the vorticity has compact support. Then we show that our approximation to the velocity field converges uniformly in space and time for a short time interval.
