Steady surface waves in a two-dimensional channel are considered. We study bifurcations, which occur on a branch of Stokes water waves starting from a uniform stream solution. Two types of bifurcations are considered: bifurcations in the…
We show wave breaking for the Whitham equation in a range of fractional dispersion, i.e. the solution remains bounded but its slope becomes unbounded in finite time, provided that the initial datum is sufficiently steep.
The Whitham equation was proposed as an alternate model equation for the simplified description of uni-directional wave motion at the surface of an inviscid fluid. As the Whitham equation incorporates the full linear dispersion relation of…
