We obtain that the behaviour of solutions and their regularity depend substantially on the vorticity. In particular, we show that extreme waves with a negative vorticity distribution have concave profiles near the crest. Our approach is based on new regularity results and asymptotic analysis of the corresponding nonlinear problem in a half-strip. Our main result is local and therefore is valid for a broad range of problems, such as for waves with a piecewise constant vorticity, stratified waves, flows with counter-currents or waves on infinite depth.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2021-03-26T13:12:14.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "asymptotic behaviour", "extreme form", "finite depth", "local higher-order asymptotics", "extreme water waves" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
