We investigate the stability of a one-parameter family of periodic solutions of the four-vortex problem known as `leapfrogging' orbits. These solutions, which consist of two pairs of identical yet oppositely-signed vortices, were known to…
Two vortex rings can form a localized configuration whereby they continually pass through one another in an alternating fashion. This phenomenon is called leapfrogging. Using parameters suitable for superfluid helium-4, we describe a…

We study tangent bifurcation of band edge plane waves in nonlinear Hamiltonian lattices. The lattice is translationally invariant. We argue for the breaking of permutational symmetry by the new bifurcated periodic orbits. The case of two…
We study two-crested traveling Stokes waves on the surface of an ideal fluid with infinite depth. Following Chen and Saffman (1980), we refer to these waves as class $\mathrm{II}$ Stokes waves. The class $\mathrm{II}$ waves are found from…
Dean's approximation for curved pipe flow, valid under loose coiling and high Reynolds numbers, is extended to study three-dimensional travelling waves. Two distinct types of solutions bifurcate from the Dean's classic two-vortex solution.…
We consider a two-layer fluid with a depth-dependent upper-layer current (e.g. a river inflow, an exchange flow in a strait, or a wind-generated current). In the rigid-lid approximation, we find the necessary singular solution of the…

Two-dimensional Euler flows, in the plane or on simple surfaces, possess a material invariant, namely the scalar vorticity normal to the surface. Consequently, flows with piecewise-uniform vorticity remain that way, and moreover evolve in a…
