Dynamics of singularities in 2D hydrodynamics with free surface
Date/Time: 15:10 22-Jun-2016
Abstract:
We consider 2D hydrodynamics of ideal fluid with free surface. A
time-dependent conformal transformation is used which maps a free fluid surface into the real line with fluid domain mapped into the lower complex half-plane. 2D fluid dynamics is fully characterized by the complex singularities in the upper complex half-plane for the time-dependent conformal transformation and the complex velocity. These singularities are branch points approaching the fluid surface as wavebreaking develops. We use the additional conformal transformation to resolve the dynamics near branch points which allows to analyze wavebreaking in details. We observed the formation of multiple Crapper capillary solutions during overturning of the wave. Authors
