Abstract
We study the convergence rate of the solutions of the incompressible Euler-α, an inviscid second-grade complex fluid, equations to the corresponding solutions of the Euler equations, as the regularization parameter α approaches zero. First we show the convergence in H s , s>n/2+1, in the whole space, and that the smooth Euler-α solutions exist at least as long as the corresponding solution of the Euler equations. Next we estimate the convergence rate for two-dimensional vortex patch with smooth boundaries.
