Dispersion relation for water waves with non-constant vorticity
نویسندگان
چکیده
We derive the dispersion relation for linearized small-amplitude gravity waves for various choices of non-constant vorticity. To the best of our knowledge, this relation is only known explicitly in the case of constant vorticity. We provide a wide range of examples including polynomial, exponential, trigonometric and hyperbolic vorticity functions.

Dispersion Relations for Periodic Water Waves with Surface Tension and Discontinuous Vorticity
We derive the dispersion relation for water waves with surface tension and having a piecewise constant vorticity distribution. More precisely, we consider here two scenarios; the first one is that of a flow with constant non-zero vorticity adjacent to the flat bed while above this layer of vorticity we assume the flow to be irrotational. The second type of flow has a layer of non-vanishing vort...
متن کاملEffect of non-zero constant vorticity on the nonlinear resonances of capillary water waves
The influence of an underlying current on three-wave interactions of capillary water waves is studied. The fact that in irrotational flow resonant three-wave interactions are not possible can be invalidated by the presence of an underlying current of constant non-zero vorticity. We show that: 1) wave trains in flows with constant non-zero vorticity are possible only for two-dimensional flows, 2...
متن کاملNearly-hamiltonian Structure for Water Waves with Constant Vorticity
We show that the governing equations for two-dimensional gravity water waves with constant non-zero vorticity have a nearly-Hamiltonian structure, which becomes Hamiltonian for steady waves.
متن کاملSurface Waves on Veritcally Sheared Currents
A new perturbation analysis is presented which provides a first approximation to the wave-current interaction. The model is shown to provide a good description of laboratory data provided by Swan, Cummins & James (2000) and of results from a numerical formulation. These comparisons confirm that the near-surface vorticity leads to an important modification of the dispersion relation. The results...
متن کاملExistence of Wilton Ripples for Water Waves with Constant Vorticity and Capillary Effects
In this paper we study the water wave problem with capillary e ects and constant vorticity when stagnation points are not excluded. When the constant vorticity is close to certain critical values we show that there exist Wilton ripples solutions of the water wave problem with two crests and two troughs per minimal period. They form smooth secondary bifurcation curves which emerge from primary b...
