Nonlinear dynamics of short traveling capillary-gravity waves.

چکیده
We establish a Green-Nagdhi model equation for capillary-gravity waves in (2+1) dimensions. Through the derivation of an asymptotic equation governing short-wave dynamics, we show that this system possesses (1+1) traveling-wave solutions for almost all the values of the Bond number theta (the special case theta=1/3 is not studied). These waves become singular when their amplitude is larger than a threshold value, related to the velocity of the wave. The limit angle at the crest is then calculated. The stability of a wave train is also studied via a Benjamin-Feir modulational analysis.

The equilibrium dynamics and statistics of gravity–capillary waves
Recent field observations and modelling of breaking surface gravity waves suggest that air-entraining breaking is not sufficiently dissipative of surface gravity waves to balance the dynamics of wind-wave growth and nonlinear interactions with dissipation for the shorter gravity waves of O(10) cm wavelength. Theories of parasitic capillary waves that form at the crest and forward face of shorte...
متن کاملFinite-wavelength stability of capillary-gravity solitary waves
We consider the Euler equations describing nonlinear waves on the free surface of a twodimensional inviscid, irrotational fluid layer of finite depth. For large surface tension, Bond number larger than 1=3, and Froude number close to 1, the system possesses a one-parameter family of small-amplitude, traveling solitary wave solutions. We show that these solitary waves are spectrally stable with ...
متن کاملNumerical simulation of capillary gravity waves excited by an obstacle in shallow water
Capillary gravity waves excited by an obstacle are investigated by numerical simulations. Under the resonant condition for which large-amplitude solitary waves are generated, solutions of the Euler equations show that the capillary effects induce the generation of short waves both upstream of the solitary waves and downstream of the obstacle. Overall characteristics of these waves agree with th...
متن کاملGravity Perturbed Crapper Waves
Crapper waves are a family of exact periodic traveling wave solutions of the freesurface irrotational incompressible Euler equations; these are pure capillary waves, meaning that surface tension is accounted for but gravity is neglected. For certain parameter values, Crapper waves are known to have multi-valued height. Using the implicit function theorem, we prove that any of the Crapper waves ...
متن کاملGrowing Surfactant Waves in Thin Liquid Films Driven by Gravity
The dynamics of a gravity-driven thin film flow with insoluble surfactant are described in the lubrication approximation by a coupled system of nonlinear PDEs. When the total quantity of surfactant is fixed, a traveling wave solution exists. For the case of constant flux of surfactant from an upstream reservoir, global traveling waves no longer exist as the surfactant accumulates at the leading...
