In the study of surface waves in the presence of a shear current, a useful and much studied model is that in which the shear flow has constant vorticity. Recently it was shown by Constantin [Eur. J. Mech. B/Fluids 30 (2011) 12-16] that a…

The constant vorticity {\bf two-layer water wave} in the $\beta$-plane approximation with centripetal forces is investigated in this paper. Different from the works (Chu and Yang\cite[JDE, 2020]{chu} and Chu and Yang \cite[JDE, 2021]{chu2})…
