Steady water waves with vorticity: spatial Hamiltonian structure
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 19 September 2013
Abstract
Spatial dynamical systems are obtained for two-dimensional steady gravity waves with vorticity on water of finite depth. These systems have Hamiltonian structure and Hamiltonian is essentially the flow–force invariant.
