Dynamics of Three-Dimensional Gravity-Capillary Solitary Waves in Deep Water
A model equation for gravity-capillary waves in deep water is proposed. This model is a quadratic approximation of the deep water potential flow equations and has wavepacket-type solitary wave solutions. The model equation supports line solitary waves which are spatially localized in the direction of propagation and constant in the transverse direction, and lump solitary waves which are spatial...
متن کاملSpectral Stability of Stationary Solutions of a Boussinesq System Describing Long Waves in Dispersive Media
We study the spectral (in)stability of one-dimensional solitary and cnoidal waves of various Boussinesq systems. These systems model three-dimensional water waves (i.e., the surface is two-dimensional) with or without surface tension. We present the results of numerous computations examining the spectra related to the linear stability problem for both stationary solitary and cnoidal waves with ...
متن کاملTransverse instability and its long-term development for solitary waves of the (2+1)-dimensional Boussinesq equation.
The stability properties of line solitary wave solutions of the (2+1)-dimensional Boussinesq equation with respect to transverse perturbations and their consequences are considered. A geometric condition arising from a multisymplectic formulation of this equation gives an explicit relation between the parameters for transverse instability when the transverse wave number is small. The Evans func...
متن کاملMultilump Symmetric and Nonsymmetric Gravity-Capillary Solitary Waves in Deep Water
Multilump gravity-capillary solitary waves propagating in a fluid of infinite depth are computed numerically. The study is based on a weakly nonlinear and dispersive partial differential equation (PDE) with weak variations in the spanwise direction, a model derived by Akers and Milewski [Stud. Appl. Math., 122 (2009), pp. 249–274]. For a two-dimensional fluid, this model agrees qualitatively we...
