Global bifurcation of water-wave fronts generated by surface pressure
Abstract
We study two-dimensional steady gravity water waves with general vorticity in a homogeneous, inviscid fluid of finite depth, subject to a surface pressure that tends to distinct constants upstream and downstream. Starting from a fixed supercritical shear flow, we construct two global branches of monotone fronts connecting distinct laminar states, with increasing and decreasing profiles corresponding to the two signs of the pressure transition. Small-amplitude fronts are first obtained via the implicit function theorem and then extended by analytic global continuation.
