Small scale creation for solutions of the incompressible two-dimensional Euler equation. (English) Zbl 1304.35521

The purpose of this article is to construct a two-dimensional Euler equation on the unit disc with smooth initial data, such that the solution has gradient of double exponential growth. The proofs use, among other methods, the Biot-Savart law, and the Green function.
