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})…

In this paper, we prove the existence of two-dimensional, traveling, capillary-gravity, water waves with compactly supported vorticity. Specifically, we consider the cases where the vorticity is a $\delta$-function (a point vortex), or has…
We study large traveling surface waves within a two-dimensional finite depth, free boundary, homogeneous, incompressible and viscous fluid governed by Darcy's law. The fluid is bound by a gravitational force to a flat rigid bottom and meets…
While some works have investigated the particle trajectories and stagnation points beneath solitary waves with constant vorticity, little is known about the pressure beneath such waves. To address this gap, we investigate numerically the…
In this paper we consider two-dimensional, stratified, steady water waves propagating over an impermeable flat bed and with a free surface. The motion is assumed to be driven by capillarity (that is, surface tension) on the surface and a…
We study the large-amplitude flutter of membranes (of zero bending rigidity) with vortex-sheet wakes in 2D inviscid fluid flows. We apply small initial deflections and track their exponential decay or growth and subsequent large-amplitude…
We investigate steady symmetric gravity water waves on finite depth. For non-positive vorticity it is shown that the particles display a mean forward drift, and for a class of waves we prove that the size of this drift is strictly…
In this paper we construct periodic capillarity-gravity water waves with an arbitrary bounded vorticity distribution. This is achieved by reexpressing, in the height function formulation of the water wave problem, the boundary condition…
