title: Phase transitions in Euler fluids.
abstract: Phase transitions in two-dimensional (2D) Euler fluids are studied using mean field theory (MFT) solutions and Monte Carlo simulations. The MFT solutions show the possibility of first and second order phase transitions and the critical pointlike behavior. The simulations of the dynamics of 2D vortex patches agree with the MFT solutions over a wide range of parameters except at high energies where there are deviations between the two.
