The classic evolution equations for potential flow on the free surface of a fluid flow are not closed because the pressure and the vertical velocity dynamics are not specified on the free surface. Moreover, their wave dynamics does not cause circulation of the fluid velocity on the free surface. The equations for free-surface motion we derive here are closed and they are not restricted to potential flow. Hence, true wave-current interaction dynamics can occur. In particular, the Kelvin-Noether theorem demonstrates that wave activity can induce fluid circulation and vorticity dynamics on the free surface. The wave-current interaction equations introduced here open new vistas for both the deterministic and stochastic analysis of nonlinear waves on free surfaces.

We are modelling multi-scale, multi-physics uncertainty in wave-current interaction (WCI). To model uncertainty in WCI, we introduce stochasticity into the wave dynamics of two classic models of WCI; namely, the Generalised Lagrangian Mean (GLM) mode l and the Craik--Leibovich (CL) model. The key idea for the GLM approach is the separation of the Lagrangian (fluid) and Eulerian (wave) degrees of freedom in Hamiltons principle. This is done by coupling an Euler--Poincare {it reduced Lagrangian} for the current flow and a {it phase-space Lagrangian} for the wave field. WCI in the GLM model involves the nonlinear Doppler shift in frequency of the Hamiltonian wave subsystem, which arises because the waves propagate in the frame of motion of the Lagrangian-mean velocity of the current. In contrast, WCI in the CL model arises because the fluid velocity is defined relative to the frame of motion of the Stokes mean drift velocity, which is usually taken to be prescribed, time independent and driven externally. We compare the GLM and CL theories by placing them both into the general framework of a stochastic Hamiltons principle for a 3D Euler--Boussinesq (EB) fluid in a rotating frame. In other examples, we also apply the GLM and CL methods to add wave physics and stochasticity to the familiar 1D and 2D shallow water flow models. The differences in the types of stochasticity which arise for GLM and CL models can be seen by comparing the Kelvin circulation theorems for the two models. The GLM model acquires stochasticity in its Lagrangian transport velocity for the currents and also in its group velocity for the waves. The Kelvin circulation theorem stochastic CL model can accept stochasticity in its both its integrand and in the Lagrangian transport velocity of its circulation loop.

Wave--current interaction (WCI) dynamics energizes and mixes the ocean thermocline by producing a combination of Langmuir circulation, internal waves and turbulent shear flows, which interact over a wide range of time scales. Two complementary approa ches exist for approximating different aspects of WCI dynamics. These are the Generalized Lagrangian Mean (GLM) approach and the Gent--McWilliams (GM) approach. Their complementarity is evident in their Kelvin circulation theorems. GLM introduces a wave pseudomomentum per unit mass into its Kelvin circulation integrand, while GM introduces a an additional `bolus velocity to transport its Kelvin circulation loop. The GLM approach models Eulerian momentum, while the GM approach models Lagrangian transport. In principle, both GLM and GM are based on the Euler--Boussinesq (EB) equations for an incompressible, stratified, rotating flow. The differences in their Kelvin theorems arise from differences in how they model the flow map in the Lagrangian for the Hamilton variational principle underlying the EB equations. A recently developed approach for uncertainty quantification in fluid dynamics constrains fluid variational principles to require that Lagrangian trajectories undergo Stochastic Advection by Lie Transport (SALT). Here we introduce stochastic closure strategies for quantifying uncertainty in WCI by adapting the SALT approach to both the GLM and GM approximations of the EB variational principle. In the GLM framework, we introduce a stochastic group velocity for transport of wave properties, relative to the frame of motion of the Lagrangian mean flow velocity and a stochastic pressure contribution from the fluctuating kinetic energy. In the GM framework we introduce a stochastic bolus velocity in addition to the mean drift velocity by imposing the SALT constraint in the GM variational principle.
We investigate analytically the linearized water wave radiation problem for an oscillating submerged point source in an inviscid shear flow with a free surface. A constant depth is taken into account and the shear flow increases linearly with depth. The surface velocity relative to the source is taken to be zero, so that Doppler effects are absent. We solve the linearized Euler equations to calculate the resulting wave field as well as its far-field asymptotics. For values of the Froude number $F^2=omega^2 D/g$ ($omega$: oscillation frequency, $D$ submergence depth) below a resonant value $F^2_text{res}$ the wave field splits cleanly into separate contributions from regular dispersive propagating waves and non-dispersive critical waves resulting from a critical layer-like street of flow structures directly downstream of the source. In the sub-resonant regime the regular waves behave like sheared ring waves while the critical layer wave forms a street of a constant width of order $Dsqrt{S/omega}$ ($S$ is the shear flow vorticity) and is convected downstream at the fluid velocity at the depth of the source. When the Froude number approaches its resonant value, the the downstream critical and regular waves resonate, producing a train of waves of linearly increasing amplitude contained within a downstream wedge.
We consider waves radiated by a disturbance of oscillating strength moving at constant velocity along the free surface of a shear flow which, when undisturbed, has uniform horizontal vorticity of magnitude $S$. When no current is present the problem is a classical one and much studied, and in deep water a resonance is known to occur when $tau=|boldsymbol{V}|omega_0/g$ equals the critical value $1/4$ ($boldsymbol{V}$: velocity of disturbance, $omega_0$: oscillation frequency, $g$: gravitational acceleration). We show that the presence of the sub-surface shear current can change this picture radically. Not only does the resonant value of $tau$ depend strongly on the angle between $boldsymbol{V}$ and the currents direction and the shear-Froude number $mathrm{Frs}=|boldsymbol{V}|S/g$; when $mathrm{Frs}>1/3$, multiple resonant values --- as many as $4$ --- can occur for some directions of motion. At sufficiently large values of $mathrm{Frs}$, the smallest resonance frequency tends to zero, representing the phenomenon of critical velocity for ship waves. We provide a detailed analysis of the dispersion relation for the moving, oscillating disturbance, in both finite and infinite water depth, including for the latter case an overview of the different far-field waves which exist in different sectors of wave vector space under different conditions. Owing to the large number of parameters, a detailed discussion of the structure of resonances is provided for infinite depth only, where analytical results are available.
Nonlinear dynamics of the free surface of finite depth non-conducting fluid with high dielectric constant subjected to a strong horizontal electric field is considered. Using the conformal transformation of the region occupied by the fluid into a str ip, the process of counter-propagating waves interaction is numerically simulated. The nonlinear solitary waves on the surface can separately propagate along or against the direction of electric field without distortion. At the same time, the shape of the oppositely traveling waves can be distorted as the result of their interaction. In the problem under study, the nonlinearity leads to increasing the waves amplitudes and the duration of their interaction. This effect is inversely proportional to the fluid depth. In the shallow water limit, the tendency to the formation of a vertical liquid jet is observed.
