We consider the inviscid limit for the two-dimensional incompressible Navier–Stokes equation in the particular case where the initial flow is a finite collection of point vortices. We suppose that the initial positions and the circulations of the vortices do not depend on the viscosity parameter ν, and we choose a time T > 0 such that the Helmholtz–Kirchhoff point vortex system is well-posed on the interval [0, T]. Under these assumptions, we prove that the solution of the Navier–Stokes…
