Resumo
This manuscript describes the derivation of systems of equations for weakly nonlinear gravity waves in shallow water in the presence of constant vorticity. The derivation is based on a multi-layer generalization of the traditional columnar Ansatz. A perturbative development in a nonlinear parameter and a dispersive parameter allow us to obtain sets of equations, for the horizontal fluid velocity and the free surface, able to describe propagation of weakly nonlinear and dispersive surface waves moving in water with some prescribed initial constant vorticity. We have shown that vorticity plays a central role on the dispersive properties of the system. When it is weak, it acts as a correction in linear and nonlinear dispersive terms. When stronger, it can also influence the nondispersive behavior of the system. Explicit steady solutions of the system corresponding to zero, weak, normal or strong vorticity are obtained. They correspond to solitary waves. Evolution of the soliton celerity, amplitude and width for these four cases are discussed.
