We rigorously prove the filamentation phenomenon for a class of weak solutions to the Euler equations known as vortex caps. Vortex caps are characteristic functions representing time-evolving sets of Lagrangian type, with energy preserved at all times. The filamentation of vortex caps is characterized by L^1 -stability alongside unbounded growth of the perimeter of their interfaces. We recall the existence and stability results for vortex caps on the sphere, based on Yudovich theory. Using L^1 -stability, we derive a lower bound for the growth of the perimeter of vortex caps over time.
