    Flow structure beneath periodic waves with constant vorticity under strong horizontal electric fields
    (Elsevier B.V., 2024-12-01)
    While several articles have been written on Electrohydrodynamics (EHD) flows or flows with constant vorticity separately, little is known about the extent to which the combined effects of EHD and constant vorticity affect the flow. This study aims to shed light on this topic by investigating the combined influence of a horizontal electric field and constant vorticity on the free surface and the emergence of stagnation points. Using the Euler equations framework, we employ conformal mapping and pseudo-spectral numerical methods. Our findings reveal that increasing the electric field intensity eliminates stagnation points and smoothen the wave profile. This implies that a horizontal electric field acts as a mechanism for the elimination of stagnation points within the fluid body. Besides, we have identified regimes where three stagnation points appear on the free surface — something that cannot occur in purely gravity rotational waves.

    Flow structures beneath stationary waves with constant vorticity over variable topography
    (Elsevier BV, 2025-11-01)
    The flow structures beneath waves have received significant attention from both theoretical and numerical perspectives. Most studies on this topic assume a flat bottom, leading to questions about the effects of variable bottom topography. To address this gap, we investigate the flow structures beneath stationary waves with constant vorticity, considering the influence of variable topography. Specifically, we numerically analyze the role of vorticity in the emergence of stagnation points and the pressure distribution within the fluid in two bottom topography scenarios: a bump and a hole. Our numerical approach is based on a variation of the classical Dyachenko, Zakharov, and Kuznetsov conformal mapping technique for free-boundary water wave problems. Our results reveal the existence of saddle points beneath wave crests and center beneath depression solitary waves. Additionally, we observe that the pressure can exhibit distinctive features, such as a global minimum on the bottom boundary – behavior that is markedly different from the usual flat-bottom case.
