Trimodal Steady Water Waves

Ehrnstrom, Mats and Wahlén, Erik LU (2015) In Archive for Rational Mechanics and Analysis 216(2). p.449-471
Abstract
We construct three-dimensional families of small-amplitude gravity-driven rotational steady water waves of finite depth. The solutions contain counter-currents and multiple crests in each minimal period. Each such wave is, generically, a combination of three different Fourier modes, giving rise to a rich and complex variety of wave patterns. The bifurcation argument is based on a blow-up technique, taking advantage of three parameters associated with the vorticity distribution, the strength of the background stream, and the period of the wave.
