Oftentimes, Stokes' theorem is derived by using, more or less explicitly, the invariance of the curl of the vector field with respect to translations and rotations. However, this invariance -- which is oftentimes described as the curl being…
In this paper we prove that the pressure beneath an extreme Stokes wave over finite depth is strictly increasing with depth. Additionally it is shown that the pressure decreases in moving between a crest-line and trough-line, while it is…
Stokes phenomenon refers to the fact that the asymptotic expansion of complex functions can differ in different regions of the complex plane, and that beyond the so-called Stokes lines has an unphysical divergence. An important special case…
