Fluids can behave in a highly irregular, turbulent way. It has long been realised that, therefore, some weak notion of solution is required when studying the fundamental partial differential equations of fluid dynamics, such as the…
Hamiltonian variational principles provided, since 60s, the means of developing very successful wave theories for nonlinear free-surface flows, under the assumption of irrotationality. This success, in conjunction with the recognition that…

We prove the existence of pure capillary solitary waves for the 2D finite-depth Euler equations with nonzero constant vorticity. In the irrotational case, nonexistence of solitary waves was established by Ifrim--Pineau--Tataru--Taylor, so…
