New singularities for Stokes waves
- Abstract:
-
In 1880, Stokes famously demonstrated that the singularity that occurs at the crest of the steepest possible water wave in infinite depth must correspond to a corner of 120°. Here, the complex velocity scales like f⅓ where f is the complex potential. Later in 1973, Grant showed that for any wave away from the steepest configuration, the singularity f = f* moves into the complex plane, and is of order (f - f*)½ (J. Flu...
