In this paper we derive a new formulation of the water waves equations with vorticity that generalizes the well-known Zalkarov-Craig-Sulem formulation used in the irrotational case. We prove the local well-posedness of this formulation, and…
The re-scaled Water-Waves equations depend strongly on the ratio epsilon between the amplitude of the wave and the depth of the water. We investigate in this paper the convergence as epsilon goes to zero of the free surface Euler equations…
The Euler's equations describe the motion of inviscid fluid. In the case of shallow water, when a perturbative asymtotic expansion of the Euler's equations is taken (to a certain order of smallness of the scale parameters), relations to…
Our goal in this paper is to apply a normal forms method to estimate the Sobolev norms of the solutions of the water waves equation. We construct a paradifferential change of unknown, without derivatives losses, which eliminates the part of…
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…
The purpose of this article is to clarify the Cauchy theory of the water waves equations as well in terms of regularity indexes for the initial conditions as for the smoothness of the bottom of the domain (namely no regularity assumption is…
In this paper we consider two-dimensional water waves with constant vorticity, under the action of gravity and surface tension, in a fluid domain with finite depth and general bottom topography. We present a formulation which generalizes…

In this work we discuss an approximate model for the propagation of deep irrotational water waves, specifically the model obtained by keeping only quadratic nonlinearities in the water waves system under the Zakharov/Craig-Sulem…
Capillary waves are perhaps the simplest example to consider for an introduction to wave turbulence. Since the first paper by Zakharov and Filonenko (1967), capillary wave turbulence has been the subject of many studies but a didactic…
The spherical capillary water waves equation describes the motion of an almost spherical water droplet under zero gravity governed by water-air interface tension. Using para-differential calculus on compact Lie groups and homogeneous spaces…
We prove a priori estimates for the compressible Euler equations modeling the motion of a liquid with moving physical vacuum boundary in an unbounded initial domain. The liquid is under influence of gravity but without surface tension. Our…
We prove local exact controllability in arbitrary short time of the two-dimensional incompressible Euler equation with free surface, in the case with surface tension. This proves that one can generate arbitrary small amplitude periodic…
We show that horizontally symmetric water waves are traveling waves. The result is valid for the Euler equations, and is based on a general principle that applies to a large class of nonlinear partial differential equations, including some…
This article represents the first installment of a series of papers concerned with low regularity solutions for the water wave equations in two space dimensions. Our focus here is on sharp cubic energy estimates. Precisely, we introduce and…
This article is devoted to the Cauchy problem for the 2D gravity-capillary water waves in fluid domains with general bottoms. We prove that the Cauchy problem in Sobolev spaces is uniquely solvable for data $\frac{1}{4}$ derivatives less…
The Hamiltonian formulation of the water wave problem due to Zakharov, and the reduced Zakharov equation derived therefrom, have great utility in understanding and modelling water waves. Here we set out to review the cubic Zakharov equation…
