A Hamiltonian formulation of water waves with constant vorticity

Wahlén, Erik LU (2007) In Letters in Mathematical Physics 79(3). p.303-315
Abstract
We show that the governing equations for two-dimensional water waves with constant vorticity can be formulated as a canonical Hamiltonian system, in which one of the canonical variables is the surface elevation. This generalizes the well-known formulation due to Zakharov [32] in the irrotational case.
