• On the Stability of Solitary Water Waves with a Point Vortex 

      Varholm, Kristoffer; Wahlén, Erik; Walsh, Samuel (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)
      This paper investigates the stability of traveling wave solutions to the free boundary Euler equations with a submerged point vortex. We prove that sufficiently small‐amplitude waves with small enough vortex strength are ...
    • On Whitham's conjecture of a highest cusped wave for a nonlocal dispersive equation 

      Ehrnstrom, Mats; Wahlén, Erik (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)
      We consider the Whitham equation ut + 2uux + Lux = 0, where L is the nonlocal Fourier multiplier operator given by the symbol m(ξ) = p tanh ξ/ξ. G. B. Whitham conjectured that for this equation there would be a highest, ...
    • Solitary wave solutions to a class of modified Green-Naghdi systems 

      Duchene, Vincent; Nilsson, Dag Viktor; Wahlén, Erik (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)
      We provide the existence and asymptotic description of solitary wave solutions to a class of modified Green–Naghdi systems, modeling the propagation of long surface or internal waves. This class was recently proposed by ...
