Global bifurcation of hollow vortex streets
Vasileios N. Oikonomou, Samuel Walsh
Vortex streets are periodic configurations of vortices propagating through an irrotational flow. In this paper, we study streets of hollow vortices, which are solutions to the free…
Extreme internal waves: gravity currents and overturning fronts
Robin Ming Chen, Samuel Walsh, Miles H. Wheeler
Hydrodynamic bores are front-type traveling wave solutions to the two-layer free boundary Euler equations in two dimensions. The velocity field in each layer is assumed to be incom…
Finite-time self-similar implosion of hollow vortices
Robin Ming Chen, Samuel Walsh, Miles H. Wheeler
In this paper, we consider the finite-time blowup of hollow vortices. These are solutions of the two-dimensional Euler equations for which the fluid domain is the complement of fin…
Vortex-carrying solitary gravity waves of large amplitude
Robin Ming Chen, Kristoffer Varholm, Samuel Walsh +1
In this paper, we study two-dimensional traveling waves in finite-depth water that are acted upon solely by gravity. We prove that, for any supercritical Froude number (non-dimensi…
