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 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…
