Departure from idealised plane waves gives rise to intricate geometric structures in wave fields. One such structure is the polarisation singularity, which emerges when multiple monochromatic waves interfere (such as would be the case for…
To investigate the formation mechanism of energy spectra of internal waves in the oceans, direct numerical simulations are performed. The simulations are based on the reduced dynamical equations of rotating stratified turbulence. In the…
Vortical flows in shallow water interact with long surface waves by virtue of the nonlinear terms of the fluid equations. Analytical formulae are derived that quantify the spontaneous generation of such waves by unsteady vorticity as well…
This paper presents a comprehensive analysis of two-dimensional water waves characterized by a significant adverse constant vorticity over flows without stagnation points. Surprisingly, we discover qualitative distinctions between this…
Vorticity in turbulent flows is often organized into complex geometries that influence the dynamics. We use a relatively novel approach to describe these geometries: that of obtaining segments of vortex lines embedded in the flow. This…
We report on the occurrence of small-scale vortices in simulations of the convective solar surface. Using an eigenanalysis of the velocity gradient tensor, we find the subset of high vorticity regions in which the plasma is swirling. The…
In this paper we construct small amplitude periodic internal waves traveling at the boundary region between two rotational and homogeneous fluids with different densities. Within a period, the waves we obtain have the property that the…
Viscous depletion of vorticity is an essential and well known property of turbulent flows, balancing, in the mean, the net vorticity production associated with the vortex stretching mechanism. In this letter we however demonstrate that…
We study the dynamics of surface waves on a semi-toroidal ring of water that is excited by vertical vibration. We create this specific fluid volume by patterning a glass plate with a hydrophobic coating, which confines the fluid to a…
We introduce a novel type of surface waves that form at the edge of guiding structures consisting of several concentric rings. Such surface waves rotate steadily upon propagation and, in contrast to nonrotating waves, for high rotation…
We study here the propagation of long waves in the presence of vorticity. In the irrotational framework, the Green-Naghdi equations (also called Serre or fully nonlinear Boussinesq equations) are the standard model for the propagation of…
We study a class of coadjoint orbits of the area preserving diffeomorphism group of the plane consisting of vortex loops, namely closed curves in the plane decorated with one-forms (vorticity densities) allowed to have zeros.
The oscillatory flow around a spherical object lying on a rough bottom is investigated by means of direct numerical simulations of continuity and Navier-Stokes equations. The rough bottom is simulated by a layer/multiple layers of spherical…
While several articles have been written on water waves on flows with constant vorticity, little is known about the extent to which a nonconstant vorticity affects the flow structure, such as the appearance of stagnation points. In order to…
In this article we apply local bifurcation theory to prove the existence of small-amplitude steady periodic water waves, which propagate over a flat bed with a specified fixed mean-depth, and where the underlying flow has a discontinuous…
An idealized storm scenario is examined in which a wind-generated inertial wave interacts with a turbulent baroclinic quasi-geostrophic flow. The flow is initialized by spinning up a Eady model with a realistic stratification profile. The…
We perform full-scale numerical simulation of instability of weakly nonlinear waves on the surface of deep fluid. We show that the instability development leads to chaotization and formation of wave turbulence. We study instability both of…
This paper considers two-dimensional steady solitary waves with constant vorticity propagating under the influence of gravity over an impermeable flat bed. Unlike in previous works on solitary waves, we allow for both internal stagnation…
We construct a class of stationary, axisymmetric, horizonless spacetimes whose curvature is generated entirely by smooth, localised differential rotation $\Omega(r)$, while the spatial geometry remains exactly flat. Despite vanishing ADM…
A hollow vortex is a region of constant pressure bounded by a vortex sheet and suspended inside a perfect fluid; it can therefore be interpreted as a spinning bubble of air in water. This paper gives a general method for desingularizing…
