A HAMILTONIAN APPROACH FOR NONLINEAR ROTATIONAL CAPILLARY-GRAVITY WATER WAVES IN STRATIFIED FLOWS

摘要

Under consideration here are two-dimensional rotational stratified water flows driven by gravity and surface tension, bounded below by a rigid flat bed and above by a free surface. The distribution of vorticity and of density is piecewise constant- with a jump across the interface separating the fluid of bigger density from the lighter fluid adjacent to the free surface. The main result is that the governing equations for the two-layered rotational stratified flows, as described above, admit a Hamiltonian formulation.
