Strong Convergence of the Vorticity for the 2D Euler Equations in the Inviscid Limit

In this paper we prove the uniform-in-time $$L^p$$ L p convergence in the inviscid limit of a family $$\omega ^\nu $$ ω ν of solutions of the 2D Navier–Stokes equations towards a renormalized/Lagrangian solution $$\omega $$ ω of the Euler equations. We also prove that, in the class of solutions with bounded vorticity, it is possible to obtain a rate for the convergence of $$\omega ^{\nu }$$ ω ν to $$\omega $$ ω in $$L^p$$ L p . Finally, we show that solutions of the Euler equations with $$L^p$$ L p vorticity, obtained in the vanishing viscosity limit, conserve the kinetic energy. The proofs are given by using both a (stochastic) Lagrangian approach and an Eulerian approach.
