Weakly nonlinear analysis of wind-driven gravity waves
We study the weakly nonlinear development of shear-driven gravity waves induced by the physical mechanism first proposed by Miles, and furthermore investigate the mixing properties of the finite-amplitude solutions. Linear theory predicts that gravity waves are amplified by an influx of energy through the critical layer, where the velocity of the wind equals the wave phase velocity. As the wave...
متن کاملWeakly nonlinear internal gravity wavepackets
Horizontally periodic, vertically localized internal wavepackets evolve nonlinearly due only to interactions between the waves and their wave-induced mean flow. The corresponding weakly nonlinear equation that describes the evolution of the amplitude envelope before the onset of parametric subharmonic instability is examined. The results are compared with fully nonlinear numerical simulations a...
متن کاملWeakly nonlinear analysis of impulsively-forced Faraday waves.
Parametrically-excited surface waves, forced by a repeating sequence of delta-function impulses, are considered within the framework of the Zhang-Viñals model [W. Zhang and J. Viñals, J. Fluid Mech. 336, 301 (1997)]. With impulsive forcing, the linear stability analysis can be carried out exactly and leads to an implicit equation for the neutral stability curves. As noted previously [J. Bechhoe...
متن کاملHigher-order spectral analysis of nonlinear ocean surface gravity 'waves
Bispectral and trispectral analyses are used to detect secondary and tertiary wave components resulting from nonlinear interactions among largeamplitude ocean surface gravity waves in 8and 13-m water depths. Bispectra of bottom-pressure measurements indicate forced secondary waves at frequencies 2fp about twice the primary power spectral peak frequency fp. However, the interpretation of the bis...
متن کاملSemiclassical Asymptotics for Weakly Nonlinear Bloch Waves
We study the simultaneous semi-classical and adiabatic asymptotics for a class of (weakly) nonlinear Schrödinger equations with a fast periodic potential and a slowly varying confinement potential. A rigorous two-scale WKB–analysis, locally in time, is performed. The main nonlinear phenomenon is a modification of the Berry phase.
