New singularities for Stokes waves
In 1880, Stokes famously demonstrated that the singularity that occurs at the crest of the steepest possible water wave in infinite depth must correspond to a corner of 120°. Here, the complex velocity scales like <em>f</em><sup>⅓</sup> where <em>f</em> is the com...
