In this Letter we regard nonlinear gravity-capillary waves with parameter of nonlinearity being $\varepsilon \sim 0.1 \div 0.25$. For this nonlinearity time scale separation does not occur and kinetic wave equation does not hold. An energy…

We prove that symmetric, doubly periodic, capillary-gravity water waves in finite depth bifurcating from non-uniform non-stagnant shear flows are necessarily two-dimensional to leading order. This is in stark contrast to the case of uniform…
