Abstract

It is well known that the Euler vortex patch in two dimensional plane will remain regular if it is regular enough initially. In bounded domains, the regularity theory for patch solutions is less complete. In this thesis, I study the Euler vortex patch in a general smooth bounded domain. I prove global in time regularity by providing the upper bound of the growth on curvature of the patch boundary. For a special symmetric scenario, I construct an example of double exponential curvature growth, showing that our upper bound is qualitatively sharp.
