Exact Solitary Water Waves with Vorticity
نویسنده
چکیده
The solitary water wave problem is to find steady free surface waves which approach a constant level of depth in the far field. The main result is the existence of a family of exact solitarywaves of small amplitude for an arbitrary vorticity. Each solution has a supercritical parameter value and decays exponentially at infinity. The proof is based on a generalized implicit function theorem of the Nash–Moser type. The first approximation to the surface profile is given by the “KdV” equation. With a supercritical value of the surface tension coefficient, a family of small amplitude solitary waves of depression with subcritical parameter values is constructed for an arbitrary vorticity.

Large-Amplitude Solitary Water Waves with Vorticity
We provide the first construction of exact solitary waves of large amplitude with an arbitrary distribution of vorticity. We use continuation to construct a global connected set of symmetric solitary waves of elevation, whose profiles decrease monotonically on either side of a central crest. This generalizes the classical result of Amick and Toland.
متن کاملSymmetry of Solitary Water Waves with Vorticity
Symmetry and monotonicity properties of solitary water-waves of positive elevation with supercritical values of parameter are established for an arbitrary vorticity. The proof uses the detailed knowledge of asymptotic decay of supercritical solitary waves at infinity and the method of moving planes.
متن کاملSolitary water waves of large amplitude generated by surface pressure
We consider exact nonlinear solitary water waves on a shear flow with an arbitrary distribution of vorticity. Ignoring surface tension, we impose a non-constant pressure on the free surface. Starting from a uniform shear flow with a flat free surface and a supercritical wave speed, we vary the surface pressure and use a continuation argument to construct a global connected set of symmetric soli...
متن کاملBound on the slope of steady water waves with favorable vorticity
We consider the angle θ of inclination (with respect to the horizontal) of the profile of a steady 2D inviscid symmetric periodic or solitary water wave subject to gravity. Although θ may surpass 30◦ for some irrotational waves close to the extreme wave, Amick [Ami87] proved that for any irrotational wave the angle must be less than 31.15◦. Is the situation similar for periodic or solitary wave...
متن کاملSpatial Dynamics Methods for Solitary Gravity-Capillary Water Waves with an Arbitrary Distribution of Vorticity
This paper presents existence theories for several families of small-amplitude solitarywave solutions to the classical water-wave problem in the presence of surface tension and with an arbitrary distribution of vorticity. Moreover, the established local bifurcation diagram for irrotational solitary waves is shown to remain qualitatively unchanged for any choice of vorticity distribution. The hy...
