| contents | In this paper, we study the two-dimensional steady compactly supported incompressible Euler equations with free boundaries. We consider flows with constant vorticity that are perturbations of annular equilibria, in contrast to the laminar flows that predominate in the existing literature on steady water waves. More precisely, we analyze three distinct classes of steady Euler flows with compact support, which correspond, respectively, to partially overdetermined, two-phase overdetermined, and (fully) overdetermined elliptic free-boundary problems. Our main contributions are threefold. For each class, we first prove a flexibility result-the existence of nontrivial admissible domains-by combining shape derivatives with local bifurcation theory. Second, we establish the corresponding rigidity results. Third, we apply the implicit function theorem to show that the standard annular flows are stable under small perturbations of the Neumann boundary condition. These results provide new perspectives on the theory of overdetermined elliptic problems. |
