We show that the governing equations for two-dimensional gravity water waves with constant non-zero vorticity have a nearly-Hamiltonian structure, which becomes Hamiltonian for steady waves.
This paper investigates different Poisson structures that have been proposed to give a Hamiltonian formulation to evolution equations issued from fluid mechanics. Our aim is to explore the main brackets which have been proposed and to…

Hamiltonian variational principles provided, since 60s, the means of developing very successful wave theories for nonlinear free-surface flows, under the assumption of irrotationality. This success, in conjunction with the recognition that…

Many equations that arise in a physical context can be posed in the form of a Hamiltonian system, meaning that there is a symplectic structure on an appropriate phase space, and a Hamiltonian functional with respect to which time evolution…
