Bifurcation analysis for axisymmetric capillary water waves with vorticity and swirl

Erhardt, André H. LU ; Wahlén, Erik LU and Weber, Jörg LU (2022) In Studies in Applied Mathematics 149(4). p.904-942
Abstract

We study steady axisymmetric water waves with general vorticity and swirl, subject to the influence of surface tension. This can be formulated as an elliptic free boundary problem in terms of Stokes' stream function. A change of variables allows us to overcome the generic coordinate-induced singularities and to cast the problem in the form “identity plus compact,” which is amenable to Rabinowitz's global bifurcation theorem, whereas no restrictions regarding the absence of stagnation points in the flow have to be made. Within the scope of this new formulation, local curves and global families of solutions, bifurcating from laminar flows with a flat surface, are constructed.
