Global diffeomorphism of the Lagrangian flow-map for Pollard-like solutions

Abstract: We present a rigorous analysis of the nonlinear surface waves in the presence of a zonal current under the effects of Earth's rotation derived by Constantin and Monismith (J Fluid Mech 820:511-528, 2017). It is shown that the three-dimensional Lagrangian flow-map describing this exact solution is a global diffeomorphism, resulting in a flow description that is dynamically possible.

“…This is an important property of the Lagrangian flow description. We note that for both, the two-dimensional Gerstners wave [7,19] and a number of three-dimensional generalizations [32,33,34], a mixture of analytical and topological methods can be applied to prove that the Lagrangian flow-map describing these exact solutions is a global diffeomorphism, with the result that the flow is globally dynamically possible. In Eq.…”

“…A Pollard-like solution for the surface waves in the presence of mean currents and rotation was derived in a recent research paper [12], with an instability analysis of the Pollard-like solution presented in [26]. Moreover, the surface wave solution is globally dynamically possible [36]. Our purpose is to modify Pollard's solution to obtain a valid model describing the nonlinear internal water waves.…”

“…Consequently, the wave-current interactions in Pollard's solution for surface waves are described in [14] by including in the exact solution an underlying depthinvariant current interpreted as the mean flow velocity. Moreover, an instability of this solution is available in [27,28] and the solution has been proven to be globally dynamically possible [40].…”
