In this paper we investigate the qualitative behaviour of the pressure function beneath an extreme Stokes wave over infinite depth. The presence of a stagnation point at the wave-crest of an extreme Stokes wave introduces a number of…
As mentioned by Schwartz (1974) and Cokelet (1977), it was failed to gain convergent results of limiting Stokes' waves in extremely shallow water by means of perturbation methods even with the aid of extrapolation techniques such as…
We consider Stokes water waves on the vorticity flow in a two-dimensional channel of finite depth. In the paper "V.Kozlov, On first subharmonic bifurcations in a branch of Stokes waves, JDE, 2024," it was proved existence of subharmonic…
Singularities of the Navier-Stokes equations occur when some derivative of the velocity field is infinite at any point of a field of flow (or, in an evolving flow, becomes infinite at any point within a finite time). Such singularities can…

The Stokes wave problem in a constant vorticity flow is formulated, by virtue of conformal mapping techniques, as a nonlinear pseudodifferential equation, involving the periodic Hilbert transform, which becomes the Babenko equation in the…

We consider a full set of harmonics for the Stokes wave in deep water in the absence of viscosity, and examine the role that higher harmonics play in modifying the classical Benjamin-Feir instability. Using a representation of the wave…
A new model other than the classical ones given by Airy, Stokes and Gerstner for the ocean surface wave is constructed. It leads to new understandings for the wave mechanisms: (1) A wave with bigger amplitude or smaller steepness travels…
The Stokes velocity $\mathbf{u}^\mathrm{S}$, defined approximately by Stokes (1847, Trans. Camb. Philos. Soc., 8, 441-455), and exactly via the Generalized Lagrangian Mean, is divergent even in an incompressible fluid. We show that the…
It is proven that small-amplitude steady periodic water waves with infinite depth are unstable with respect to long-wave perturbations. This modulational instability was first observed more than half a century ago by Benjamin and Feir. It…
We study the stability of Stokes waves on a free surface of an ideal fluid of infinite depth. For small steepness the modulational instability dominates the dynamics, but its growth rate is vastly surpassed for steeper waves by an…
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…
Singular solutions of the Stokes equations play important roles in a variety of fluid dynamics problems. They allow the calculation of exact flows, are the basis of the boundary integral methods used in numerical computations, and can be…
