In 1957 Crapper found an exact solution for capillary waves propagating at the surface of an irrotational flow of infinite depth. Here we provide conclusive analytical and numerical evidence that a Crapper wave makes the profile of a…

In this paper we establish the global-in-time well-posedness for an arbitrary $C^{1+\gamma}$, $0<\gamma<1$, initial internal wave for the free boundary gravity Stokes system in two dimensions. This classical well-posedness result is…

Theoretical results on water waves almost always start by assuming irrotationality of the flow in order to simplify the formulation. In this work, we investigate the well-foundedness of this hypothesis via numerical simulations of the…

In this paper we derive a two-component system of nonlinear equations which model two-dimensional shallow water waves with constant vorticity. Then we prove well-posedness of this equation using a geometrical framework which allows us to…

In a recent paper, Hur & Wheeler [J. Differential Equations, 338:572-590, 2022] proved the existence of periodic steady water waves over an infinitely deep, two-dimensional and constant vorticity flow under the influence of gravity. These…

We consider the evolution of contact lines for viscous fluids in a two-dimensional open-top vessel. The domain is bounded above by a free moving boundary and otherwise by the solid wall of a vessel. The dynamics of the fluid are governed by…

We consider the creeping flow of a Newtonian fluid in a hemispherical region. In a domain with spherical, or nearly spherical, geometry, the solution of Stokes equation can be expressed as a series of spherical harmonics. However, the…

In this paper, we study two-dimensional traveling waves in finite-depth water that are acted upon solely by gravity. We prove that, for any supercritical Froude number (non-dimensionalized wave speed), there exists a continuous…

We study the two-phase Stokes flow driven by surface tension with two fluids of equal viscosity, separated by an asymptotically flat interface with graph geometry. The flow is assumed to be two-dimensional with the fluids filling the entire…

We analyze the two-dimensional incompressible Navier-Stokes equations on a smooth, bounded domain with Navier boundary conditions. Starting from an initial vorticity in $L^p$ with $p>2$, we show strong convergence of the vorticity in the…

We show that a vortex matter, that is a dense assembly of vortices in an incompressible two-dimensional flow, such as a fast rotating superfluid or turbulent flows with sign-like eddies, exhibits (i) a boundary layer of vorticity (vorticity…

A stability of nearly limiting Stokes waves to superharmonic perturbations is considered numerically. The new, previously inaccessible branches of superharmonic instability were investigated. Our numerical simulations suggest that…

We study steady axisymmetric water waves with general vorticity and swirl, subject to the influence of surface tension. Explicit solutions to such a water wave problem are static configurations where the surface is an unduloid, that is, a…

Steady and unsteady linearised flow past a submerged source are studied in the small-surface-tension limit, in the absence of gravitational effects. The free-surface capillary waves generated are exponentially small in the surface tension,…

The paper deals with the Stokes problem, associated with a flow of a viscous incompressible fluid through a spatially periodic profile cascade. We use results from [32] (the maximum regularity property in the $L^2$-framework) and [33] (the…

Particle sedimentation in the vicinity of a fixed horizontal vortex with time-dependent intensity can be chaotic, provided gravity is sufficient to displace the particle cloud while the vortex is off or weak. This "stretch, sediment and…
