Fourth-order stability analysis for capillary-gravity waves on finite-depth currents with constant vorticity

A. K. Dhar et al.

Summary: We present a fourth-order nonlinear evolution equation for narrow-banded Stokes waves in finite depth, including surface tension and a mean flow with constant vorticity. The equation is used to study the effect of vorticity on the Benjamin-Feir instability of the wave trains. The analysis reveals that vorticity significantly modifies the modulational instability, with capillarity enhancing the instability growth rate when vorticity is negative.

Solitary Waves on Flows with an Exponentially Sheared Current and Stagnation Points

Marcelo Flamarion et al.

Summary: While previous research has focused on water waves on flows with constant vorticity, this study investigates the impact of non-constant vorticity on flow structure, specifically the appearance of stagnation points. Using numerical simulations and asymptotic expansions, the researchers find that the flow beneath solitary waves can have 0, 1 or 2 stagnation points, which emerge from a streamline with a sharp corner.

Complex flow structures beneath rotational depression solitary waves in gravity-capillary flows

Marcelo V. Flamarion

Summary: This study investigates particle trajectories beneath depression solitary gravity-capillary waves in a sheared channel with finite depth and constant vorticity under the conditions of weak nonlinearity and weak dispersion. A fifth-order Korteweg-de Vries equation, which takes into account the effects of surface tension and vorticity, is derived asymptotically from the full Euler equations when the Bond number is close to a critical value determined by the vorticity. The velocity field in the bulk fluid is approximated to study submarine structures beneath depression solitary waves. The dynamical system of particle trajectories is reformulated in the moving wave frame, and the features are observed through streamlines. The presence of stagnation points in the bulk fluid for large vorticity parameter leads to the formation of cat's-eye structures, and particle trajectories can exhibit vertical excursions or purely horizontal transport. Bifurcation diagrams illustrating the number of stagnation points and complex flow structures beneath depression solitary waves are also presented. (c) 2022 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Flow structure beneath periodic waves with constant vorticity under normal electric fields

M. V. Flamarion et al.

Summary: In this paper, the flow structure of steady periodic traveling waves with constant vorticity on a dielectric fluid under the effect of normal electric fields is studied. The research findings reveal that the number of stagnation points in the flow is related to variations in the voltage potential, and the recirculation zones associated with the stagnation points are described in detail.

Overhanging and touching waves in constant vorticity flows

Vera Mikyoung Hur et al.

Summary: This study proves the existence of periodic traveling waves with overhanging profiles at the free surface of a two-dimensional, infinitely deep, and constant vorticity flow under gravity. One of the waves even intersects itself to enclose a bubble of air. Although numerical evidence has long suggested the presence of such overhanging and touching waves, a rigorous proof has been elusive.

Numerical simulation of solitary gravity waves on deep water with constant vorticity

A. S. Dosaev et al.

Summary: This paper presents a numerical study of essentially nonlinear dynamics of surface gravity waves on deep water with constant vorticity using governing equations in conformal coordinates. The behavior of this class of solitary waves without the restrictive assumption of weak nonlinearity is investigated by using the exact Euler equations. It is shown that two-soliton collisions are almost elastic within the framework of the exact equations.
