contents The forced 2D Euler equations exhibit non-unique solutions with vorticity in $L^p$, $p > 1$, whereas the corresponding Navier-Stokes solutions are unique. We investigate whether the inviscid limit $ν\to 0^+$ from the forced 2D Navier-Stokes to Euler equations is a selection principle capable of "resolving" the non-uniqueness. We focus on solutions in a neighborhood of the non-uniqueness scenario discovered by Vishik; specifically, we incorporate viscosity $ν$ and consider $O(\varepsilon)$ size perturbations of the initial datum. We discover a uniqueness threshold $\varepsilon \sim ν^{κ_{\rm c}}$, below which the vanishing viscosity solution is unique and radial, and at which there are viscous solutions converging to non-unique, non-radial solutions.
