Fourth Branch of Instability of a Stokes Wave and the Dependence of the Corresponding Growth Rate on Nonlinearity
摘要
Through a massive computation we reached the fourth superharmonic instability branch of the Stokes wave. Using the obtained results we checked phenomenological formulas for the dependence of the instability growth rates corresponding to different branches of instability on the nonlinearity parameter (steepness, defined as the wave height to wavelength ratio
