New exact relations for steady irrotational two-dimensional gravity and capillary surface waves

Classical Physics 2018-02-07 v1 Fluid Dynamics

Abstract

Steady two-dimensional surface capillary-gravity waves in irrotational motion are considered on constant depth. By exploiting the holomorphic properties in the physical plane and introducing some transformations of the boundary conditions at the free surface, new exact relations and equations for the free surface only are derived. In particular, a physical plane counterpart of the Babenko equation is obtained.
