Abstract
The modified nonlinear envelope equation of interfacial gravity-capillary waves in a two-layer fluid of infinite depths for broader bandwidth with a uniform velocity of the upper fluid is derived. The derivation is made from Zakharov’s integral equation by relaxing the narrow wave bandwidth restriction to make it more applicable for utilization of a realistic sea wave spectrum. From this equation instability regions are drawn in the perturbed wave number space. The modified equation limits the wave bandwidth of a uniform Stokes wave in an excellent agreement with the accurate numerical results. We have also drawn the growth rate of modulational instability for the case of pure capillary waves.
期刊介绍:
Ocean Dynamics is an international journal that aims to publish high-quality peer-reviewed articles in the following areas of research:
Theoretical oceanography (new theoretical concepts that further system understanding with a strong view to applicability for operational or monitoring purposes);
Computational oceanography (all aspects of ocean modeling and data analysis);
Observational oceanography (new techniques or systematic approaches in measuring oceanic variables, including all aspects of monitoring the state of the ocean);
Articles with an interdisciplinary character that encompass research in the fields of biological, chemical and physical oceanography are especially encouraged.
