Abstract: It is well-known that the cubic nonlinear Schrodinger equation gives a good approximation for frequency-localized solutions to the irrotational 2D gravity water waves equations, at least on a cubic timescale. Replacing the assumption of irrotationality with one of constant vorticity allows the model to apply to waves in settings with countercurrents, but the new terms introduced by the vorticity break the scaling symmetry, and in the low-frequency regime, they should have a large effect. We show that, for low-frequency solutions, the Benjamin-Ono equation gives a good approximation to the 2D gravity water waves equations with constant vorticity. The proof relies on normal form analysis and modified energy estimates.
