The bifurcation of two-dimensional gravity–capillary waves into solitary waves when the phase velocity and group velocity are nearly equal is investigated in the presence of constant vorticity. We found that gravity–capillary solitary waves with decaying oscillatory tails exist in deep water in the presence of vorticity. Furthermore we found that the presence of vorticity influences strongly (i) the solitary wave properties and (ii) the growth rate of unstable transverse perturbations. The growth rate and bandwidth instability are given numerically and analytically as a function of the vorticity.

A mathematical model is proposed to describe atmospheric solitary waves at the interface between a ‘shallow’ layer of fluid near the ground and a stationary upper layer of compressible air. The lower layer is in motion relative to the ground, perhaps as a result of a distant thunderstorm or a sea breeze, and possesses constant vorticity. The upper fluid is compressible and isothermal, so that its density and pressure both decrease exponentially with height. The profile and speed of the solitary wave are determined, for a wave of given amplitude, using a boundary-integral method. Results are discussed in relation to the ‘morning glory’, which is a remarkable meteorological phenomenon evident in the far north of Australia.

AbstractWe prove that no two-dimensional Stokes and solitary waves exist when the vorticity function is negative and the Bernoulli constant is greater than a certain critical value given explicitly. In particular, we obtain an upper bound $$F \le \sqrt{2} + \epsilon $$ F ≤ 2 + ϵ for the Froude number of solitary waves with a negative constant vorticity, sufficiently large in absolute value.

This work is concerned with waves propagating on water of finite depth with a constant-vorticity current under a deformable flexible sheet. The pressure exerted by the sheet is modelled by using the Cosserat thin shell theory. By means of multi-scale analysis, small amplitude nonlinear modulation equations in several regimes are considered, including the nonlinear Schrödinger equation (NLS) which is used to predict the existence of small-amplitude wavepacket solitary waves in the full Euler equations and to study the modulational instability of quasi-monochromatic wavetrains. Guided by these weakly nonlinear results, fully nonlinear steady and time-dependent computations are performed by employing a conformal mapping technique. Bifurcation mechanisms and typical profiles of solitary waves for different underlying shear currents are presented in detail. It is shown that even when small-amplitude solitary waves are not predicted by the weakly nonlinear theory, we can numerically find large-amplitude solitary waves in the fully nonlinear equations. Time-dependent simulations are carried out to confirm the modulational stability results and illustrate possible outcomes of the nonlinear evolution in unstable cases.
