Abstract

AbstractWe prove that there are no three-dimensional bounded travelling gravity waves with constant non-zero vorticity on water of finite depth. The result also holds for gravity–capillary waves under a certain condition on the pressure at the surface, which is satisfied by sufficiently small waves. The proof relies on unique continuation arguments and Liouville-type results for elliptic equations.
