Abstract
An improved Levi-Civita method in which the singularities of the desired function are taken into account by introducing terms containing power singularities is proposed. Results of numerical analysis of the nonlinear problem of a vortex in a bounded flow of an ideal weighable fluid (Fr>1) are given. The following limiting flow regimes are studied: the Stokes waves with one and two crests, emergence of a critical point on the surface, and the detachment of a vortex from a soliton and a uniform flow. It is shown that nonperiodic waves can form in a local zone in the vicinity of the critical point.
