Steady periodic waves bifurcating for fixed-depth rotational flows

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

We consider steady periodic water waves for rotational flows with a specified fixed depth over a flat bed. We construct a modified height function, which explicitly introduces the mean depth into the rotational water wave problem, and use the Crandall-Rabinowitz local bifurcation theorem to establish the existence of solutions of the resulting problem.
