Symmetry of steady periodic gravity water waves with vorticity

Constantin, Adrian LU ; Ehrnström, Mats LU and Wahlén, Erik LU (2007) In Duke Mathematical Journal 140(3). p.591-603
Abstract
We prove that steady periodic two-dimensional rotational gravity water waves with a monotone surface profile between troughs and crests have to be symmetric about the crest, irrespective of the vorticity distribution within the fluid.
