Effect of vorticity on steady water waves

Two-dimensional, finite-depth periodic steady water waves with variable vorticity ω=γ(ψ) and large amplitude a are computed for a large number of cases. In particular, the effect of a shear layer at the top, the middle or the bottom is considered. The maximum amplitude amax varies monotonically with...
