Linear water waves with vorticity: rotational features and particle paths

Ehrnström, Mats LU and Villari, Gabriele (2008) In Journal of Differential Equations 244(8). p.1888-1909
Abstract
Steady linear gravity waves of small amplitude travelling on a current of constant vorticity are found. For negative vorticity we show the appearance of internal waves and vortices, wherein the particle trajectories are not any more closed ellipses. For positive vorticity the situation resembles that of Stokes waves, but for large vorticity the trajectories are affected.
