Wave impact and run-up onto vertical obstacles are among the most important phenomena which must be taken into account in the design of coastal structures. From linear wave theory, we know that the wave amplitude on a vertical wall is twice…
Turbulence in superfluids depends crucially on the dissipative damping in vortex motion. This is observed in the B phase of superfluid 3He where the dynamics of quantized vortices changes radically in character as a function of temperature.…

We consider two-dimensional periodic gravity water waves with constant nonzero vorticity $\gamma$, in infinite depth and with periodic boundary conditions. We prove that, if the characteristic wave number $\frac{\gamma^2}{g}$ is rational,…
We study the weakly non-linear development of shear-driven gravity waves, and investigate the mixing properties of the finite amplitude solutions. Calculations to date have been restricted to the linear theory, which predicts that gravity…
We consider the free boundary problem for a plasma--vacuum interface in ideal incompressible magnetohydrodynamics. Unlike the classical statement, where the vacuum magnetic field obeys the div-curl system of pre-Maxwell dynamics, we do not…
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})…
An almost self-centered graph is a connected graph of order $n$ with exactly $n-2$ central vertices, and an almost peripheral graph is a connected graph of order $n$ with exactly $n-1$ peripheral vertices. We determine (1) the maximum girth…

We consider a two-dimensional wave system containing a subwavelength hole, such as an aperture in an interface supporting surface electromagnetic or acoustic waves, or an island in a fluid surface sustaining gravity-capillary waves. Recent…
The existence of periodic waves propagating downstream on the surface of a two-dimensional infinitely deep water under gravity is established for a general class of vorticities. When reformulated as an elliptic boundary value problem in a…
Electromagnetic waves, solving the full set of Maxwell equations in vacuum, are numerically computed. These waves occupy a fixed bounded region of the three dimensional space, topologically equivalent to a toroid. Thus, their fluid dynamics…
