Abstract: In this paper, we study the vortex patch problem in an ideal fluid in a planar bounded domain. By solving a certain minimization problem and studying the limiting behavior of the minimizer, we prove that for any harmonic function $q$ corresponding to a nontrivial irrotational flow, there exists a family of steady vortex patches approaching the set of extremum points of $q$ on the boundary of the domain. Furthermore, we show that each finite collection of strict extreme points of $q$ corresponds to a family of steady multiple vortex patches approaching it.
