FD2 Reunion Seminar: Water Waves Linearized At Monotonic Shear Flows

Abstract/Media

We consider the 2-dim capillary gravity water wave problem -- the free boundary problem of the Euler equation with gravity and surface tension -- of finite depth linearized at a uniformly monotonic shear flow $U(x_2)$. Our main focuses are eigenvalue distribution and inviscid damping. We first prove that in contrast to finite channel flow and gravity waves, the linearized capillary gravity wave has two unbounded branches of eigenvalues for high wave numbers. They may bifurcate into unstable eigenvalues through a rather degenerate bifurcation. Under certain conditions, we provide a complete picture of the eigenvalue distribution. Assuming there are no singular modes (i.e. embedded eigenvalues), we obtain the linear inviscid damping. We also identify the leading asymptotic terms of velocity and obtain stronger decay for the remainders. The linearized gravity waves will also be discussed briefly if time permits.

This is a joint work with Xiao Liu.
