We consider the Euler equations for the potential flow of an ideal incompressible fluid of infinite depth with a free surface in two-dimensional geometry. Both gravity and surface tension forces are taken into account. A time-dependent conformal mapping is used which maps the lower complex half-plane of the auxiliary complex variable $w$ into the fluid’s area, with the real line of $w$ mapped into the free fluid’s surface. We reformulate the exact Eulerian dynamics through a non-canonical non-local Hamiltonian structure for a pair of the Hamiltonian variables. These two variables are the imaginary part of the conformal map and the fluid’s velocity potential, both evaluated at the fluid’s free surface. The corresponding Poisson bracket is non-degenerate, i.e. it does not have any Casimir invariant. Any two functionals of the conformal mapping commute with respect to the Poisson bracket. The new Hamiltonian structure is a generalization of the canonical Hamiltonian structure of Zakharov (J. Appl. Mech. Tech. Phys., vol. 9(2), 1968, pp. 190–194) which is valid only for solutions for which the natural surface parametrization is single-valued, i.e. each value of the horizontal coordinate corresponds only to a single point on the free surface. In contrast, the new non-canonical Hamiltonian equations are valid for arbitrary nonlinear solutions (including multiple-valued natural surface parametrization) and are equivalent to the Euler equations. We also consider a generalized hydrodynamics with the additional physical terms in the Hamiltonian beyond the Euler equations. In that case we identify powerful reductions that allow one to find general classes of particular solutions.

We consider a potential motion of ideal incompressible fluid with a free surface and infinite depth in two dimensions with gravity forces and surface tension. A time-dependent conformal mapping z(w, t) of the lower complex half-plane of the variable w into the area filled with fluid is performed with the real line of w mapped into the free fluid’s surface. We study the dynamics of singularities of both z(w, t) and the complex fluid potential Π(w, t) in the upper complex half-plane of w. We reformulate the exact Eulerian dynamics through a non-canonical nonlocal Hamiltonian structure for a pair of the Hamiltonian variables (Dyachenko et al., submitted), the imaginary part of z(w, t) and the real part at Π(w, t) (both evaluated of fluid’s free surface). The corresponding Poisson bracket is non-degenerate, i.e. it does not have any Casimir invariant. Any two functionals of the conformal mapping commute with respect to the Poisson bracket. New Hamiltonian structure is a generalization of the canonical Hamiltonian structure of (Zakharov, 1968) (valid only for solutions for which the natural surface parametrization is single valued, i.e. each value of the horizontal coordinate corresponds only to a single point on the free surface). In contrast, new non-canonical Hamiltonian equations are valid for arbitrary nonlinear solutions (including multiple-valued natural surface parametrization) and are equivalent to Euler equations. We also consider a generalized hydrodynamics with the additional physical terms in the Hamiltonian beyond the Euler equations as in (Lushnikov and Zubarev, 2018) with the powerful reductions which allowed to find general classes of particular solutions. In Eulerian case we show the existence of solutions with an arbitrary finite number N of complex poles in zw(w, t) and Πw(w, t) which are the derivatives of z(w, t) and Π(w, t) over w (Dyachenko et al., submitted). These solutions are not purely rational because they generally have branch points at other positions of the upper complex halfplane with generally the infinite number of sheets of the Riemann surface for z(w, t) and Π(w, t) (Lushnikov, 2016). The order of poles is arbitrary for zero surface tension while all orders are even for nonzero surface tension. We find that the residues of zw(w, t) at these N points are new, previously unknown constants of motion. These constants of motion commute with each other with respect to the Poisson bracket. There are more integrals of motion beyond these residues. If all poles are simple then the number of independent real integrals of motion is 4N for zero gravity and 4N-1 for nonzero gravity. For higher order poles the number of the integrals is increasing. These nontrivial constants of motion provides an argument in support of the conjecture of complete integrability of free surface hydrodynamics. Work of A. Dyachenko, P. Lushnikov and V.

A numerical model is presented for the simulation of the two-dimensional, inviscid, free-surface flow developing by the propagation and breaking of water waves over a flat bottom of steep slope. The simulation is based on the numerical solution of the unsteady, two-dimensional, Euler equations subject to the fully-nonlinear free-surface boundary conditions, the non-penetration condition at the bottom and appropriate inflow and outflow conditions. A boundary-fitted transformation, which includes both the time-dependent free surface and the arbitrary bottom shape, is applied. For the numerical solution of the Euler equations, a two-stage fractional time-step method is employed for the temporal discretization, while a hybrid scheme is used for the spatial discretization. Finite differences are used in the streamwise direction and a pseudo-spectral method in the vertical direction. An absorption zone is placed at the outflow region in order to minimize wave reflection by the outflow boundary. Wave breaking is modeled by a surface roller breaking model, which modifies the dynamic free-surface condition. The simulation results are in very good agreement with available experimental results for the wave propagation and breaking over bottom with slope 1:35. Results, from the simulations over bottom with steeper slopes of 1:15 and 1:10, which generate strong spilling and mild plunging breakers, respectively, are also in very good agreement with available predictions for the breaking depth and wave height. In all cases, a vortex is formed under the breaking wave front and convected in the surf zone.

The present study describes, first, an efficient algorithm for computing solutions in terms of capillary–gravity solitary waves of the irrotational Euler equations with a free surface and, second, provides numerical evidences of the existence of an infinite number of generalised solitary waves (solitary waves with undamped oscillatory wings). Using conformal mapping, the unknown fluid domain, which is to be determined, is mapped into a uniform strip of the complex plane. In the transformed domain, a Babenko-like equation is then derived and solved numerically.

Three methods that have been developed for computing added-mass coefficients of two-dimensional forms, vibrating horizontally or vertically at a free surface, are compared by application to a set of four cargo ship sections. Computer programs are offered for two of these methods. The method employing conformal mapping is recommended as the best of the three.

This article presents a study of bound periodically oscillating coherent structures arising on the free surface of deep water. Such structures resemble the well known bi-soliton solution of the nonlinear Schrödinger equation. The research was carried out in the super-compact Dyachenko-Zakharov equation model for unidirectional deep water waves and the full system of nonlinear equations for potential flows of an ideal incompressible fluid written in conformal variables. The special numerical algorithm that includes a damping procedure of radiation and velocity adjusting was used for obtaining such bound structures. The results showed that in both nonlinear models for deep water waves after the damping is turned off, a periodically oscillating bound structure remains on the fluid surface and propagates stably over hundreds of thousands of characteristic wave periods without losing energy.

AbstractThis paper concerns the flow of fluid exiting a two-dimensional pipe and impacting an infinite wedge. Where the flow leaves the pipe there is a free surface between the fluid and a passive gas. The model is a generalisation of both plane bubbles and flow impacting a flat plate. In the absence of gravity and surface tension, an exact free streamline solution is derived. We also construct two numerical schemes to compute solutions with the inclusion of surface tension and gravity. The first method involves mapping the flow to the lower half-plane, where an integral equation concerning only boundary values is derived. This integral equation is solved numerically. The second method involves conformally mapping the flow domain onto a unit disc in the s-plane. The unknowns are then expressed as a power series in s. The series is truncated, and the coefficients are solved numerically. The boundary integral method has the additional advantage that it allows for solutions with waves in the far-field, as discussed later. Good agreement between the two numerical methods and the exact free streamline solution provides a check on the numerical schemes.

Exact Relations

Steady two-dimensional surface capillary–gravity waves in irrotational motion are considered on constant depth. By exploiting the holomorphic properties in the physical plane and introducing some transformations of the boundary conditions at the free surface, new exact relations and equations for the free surface only are derived. In particular, a physical plane counterpart of the Babenko equation is obtained. This article is part of the theme issue ‘Nonlinear water waves’.
