Abstract: We discuss the Lagrangian property and the conservation of the kinetic energy for solutions of the 2D incompressible Euler equations. Existence of Lagrangian solutions is known when the initial vorticity is in Lp with 1leqpleqinfty. Moreover, if pgeq3/2 all weak solutions are conservative. In this work we prove that solutions obtained via the vortex method are Lagrangian, and that they are conservative if p>1.


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.
