Abstract

This paper is concerned with some nonlinear free surface flows. Some are problems that Joe and I solved over the last 25 years. Others may not be joint but were inspired by Joe’s ideas and enthusiasm for research. Still some others are problems Joe and I started working on and that we hope to solve soon.
