Two-dimensional solitary water waves with constant vorticity, Part II: the deep capillary case

Analysis of PDEs 2024-08-08 v1

Abstract

We consider the two-dimensional capillary water waves with nonzero constant vorticity in infinite depth. We first derive the Babenko equation that describes the profile of the solitary wave. When the velocity cc is close to a critical velocity and a sign condition involving the physical parameters is met, the Babenko equation can be reduced to the stationary focusing cubic nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation plus perturbative error. We show the existence of a critical value of a dimensionless physical parameter below which at least two families of velocities satisfy the focusing condition and above which only one does. This gives the existence of small-amplitude solitary wave solutions for the water wave system with constant vorticity.
