Desingularization of steady vortex of perturbation type in the lake equations

Abstract

In this paper, we study the desingularization of steady lake model of perturbation type with general nonlinearity f. Using the modified vorticity method, we construct a family of steady solutions with vanishing circulation, which constitute a desingularization of a singular vortex. The localization of the singular vortex is determined only by the vanishing rate of the circulation. Some qualitative and asymptotic properties are also established.
