Smooth global Lagrangian flow for the 2D Euler and second-grade fluid equations

We present a very simple proof of the global existence of a C^∞ Lagrangian flow map for the 2D Euler and second-grade fluid equations (on a compact Riemannian manifold with boundary) which has C^∞ dependence on initial data u₀ in the class of H^s divergence-free vector fields for s > 2.
