We consider the nonlinear problem of steady gravity-driven waves on the free surface of a two-dimensional flow of an incompressible fluid (say, water). The flow is assumed to be unidirectional of finite depth and the water motion is…
We show that surface waves in a draining-bathtub vortex provide a hydrodynamic realization of both Aharonov-Bohm phase shifts and Lense-Thirring frame dragging within a single system. A static time transformation maps the flat…

In this paper, we study steady vortex patch solutions to the incompressible Euler equations in a planar bounded domain $D$. Let $\psi_0$ be the solution of the elliptic problem $-\Delta \psi _{0} =1$ in $D$; $\psi_0=0$ on $\partial D$. We…
