Weak solutions obtained by the vortex method for the 2D Euler equations are Lagrangian and conserve the energy (Q2022667)

This paper studies a class of weak solutions of 2D unsteady incompressible Euler equations with initial data in \(L^2_{\mathrm{loc}}(\mathbb{R}^2)\). Such weak solutions are called VB-solutions and are obtained by the method of the vortex-blob approximation. First the authors show that VB-solutions are Lagrangian. Secondly under the assumption that the initial vorticity is in \(L^p(\mathbb{R}^2)\) with zero mean value and compact support for \(p>1\), the authors prove the conservation of the kinetic energy for the corresponding VB solution.
