The cubic-vortical Whitham equation is a model for wave motion on a vertically sheared current of constant vorticity in a shallow inviscid fluid. It generalizes the classical Whitham equation by allowing constant vorticity and by adding a…

We study acoustic wave propagation in a uniform stationary flow. We develop a method founded on the Lorentz transform and a hypothesis of irrotationality of the acoustic perturbation. After a transformation of the space-time and of the…

Complete Hamiltonian formalism is suggested for inertial waves in rotating incompressible fluid. Resonance three-wave interaction processes -- decay instability and confluence of two waves -- are shown to play a key role in the weakly…

We consider the wave equation for sound in a moving fluid with a fourth-order anomalous dispersion relation. The velocity of the fluid is a linear function of position, giving two points in the flow where the fluid velocity matches the…

We consider classical steady water waves with a free surface, a flat bottom and constant vorticity $\gamma$. In the adverse case $\gamma>0$ we prove that there is an absolute upper bound on the amplitude, independent of the physical…

Vorticity in two-dimensional superfluids is subject to intense research efforts due to its role in quantum turbulence, dissipation and the BKT phase transition. Interaction of sound and vortices is of broad importance in Bose-Einstein…

The classical equations of irrotational water waves have recently been reformulated as a system of two equations, one of which is an explicit non-local equation for the wave height and for the velocity potential evaluated on the free…
