SUMMARY:Math Seminar Series
DESCRIPTION:
 Colloquium\n
 \n
 Walter Strauss, Brown University, 
 will be speaking.\n
 \n
 The topic is titled "Steady 
 Water Waves."\n
 \n
 Contact: Aaron D Levin

 The mathematical study 
 of water waves began with the derivation 
 of the basic mathematical equations of any fluid 
 by Euler in 1752. Later, water waves, which 
 have a free boundary at the air interface, 
 played a central role in the work of Poisson, 
 Cauchy, Stokes, Levi-Civita and many others. 
 In the last quarter century it has become a 
 particularly active mathematical research area. 
 I will limit my discussion to classical 2D 
 traveling water waves with vorticity. By means 
 of local and global bifurcation theory using 
 topological degree, we now know that there 
 exist many such waves. They are exact smooth 
 solutions of the Euler equations with the physical 
 boundary conditions. Numerical computations 
 provide insight into their properties.\n\n
