We consider the two dimensional pure gravity water waves with nonzero constant vorticity in infinite depth, working in the holomorphic coordinates introduced by Hunter, Ifrim, and Tataru. We show that close to the critical velocity…
We provide high-order approximations to periodic travelling wave profiles and to the velocity field and the pressure beneath the waves, in flows with constant vorticity over a flat bed.
We formulate a quantum theory of vorticity (hydro)dynamics on a general two-dimensional bosonic lattice. In the classical limit of a bosonic condensate, it reduces to conserved plasma-like vortex-antivortex dynamics. The nonlocal…
We prove an asymptotic stability result for the water wave equations linearized around small solitary waves. The equations we consider govern irrotational flow of a fluid with constant density bounded below by a rigid horizontal bottom and…
