We study modulational stability and instability in the Whitham equation, combining the dispersion relation of water waves and a nonlinearity of the shallow water equations, and modified to permit the effects of surface tension and constant…

The Whitham equation is a model for the evolution of small-amplitude, unidirectional waves of all wavelengths on shallow water. It has been shown to accurately model the evolution of waves in laboratory experiments. We compute…

Wave resonance is the fundamental mechanism of non-linear instabilities of fluid flows, and affects the long-time evolution of fluid motions and other physical problems described by non-linear differential equations. Some significant…

We analyse the stability of periodic, travelling-wave solutions to the Kawahara equation and some of its generalizations. We determine the parameter regime for which these solutions can exhibit resonance. By examining perturbations of…

Recently, the Whitham and capillary-Whitham equations were shown to accurately model the evolution of surface waves on shallow water. In order to gain a deeper understanding of these equations, we compute periodic, traveling-wave solutions…

In this paper, we derive consistent shallow water equations for bi-layer flows of Newtonian fluids flowing down a ramp. We carry out a complete spectral analysis of steady flows in the low frequency regime and show the occurence of…

We investigate the existence of Wilton ripple solutions of the Kawahara equation. Without loss of generality, these are $2\pi$-periodic, traveling-wave solutions whose profiles at zero amplitude have a codimension-1 bifurcation from a…

Patterns of vortex ripples form when a sand bed is subjected to an oscillatory fluid flow. Here we describe experiments on the response of regular vortex ripple patterns to sudden changes of the driving amplitude a or frequency f. A…

This is a study of two-dimensional steady periodic travelling waves on the surface of an infinitely deep irrotational ocean, when the top streamline is in contact with a membrane which has a nonlinear response to stretching and bending, and…

In classical continuum physics, a wave is a mechanical disturbance. Whether the disturbance is stationary or traveling and whether it is caused by the motion of atoms and molecules or the vibration of a lattice structure, a wave can be…

We consider a full set of harmonics for the Stokes wave in deep water in the absence of viscosity, and examine the role that higher harmonics play in modifying the classical Benjamin-Feir instability. Using a representation of the wave…

We prove variational instability for small-amplitude solutions to the periodic irrotational gravity water wave problem in finite depth. Our results are based on a reformation of the water wave problem as a pseudo-differential Euler-Lagrange…

The manuscript focuses on the theoretical stability analysis of the viscous liquid over a vibrating inclined rigid bed when the fluid undergoes an impact of odd viscosity. Such an impact emerges in the classical fluid owing to the broken…

The recent theoretical discovery of families of travelling wave solutions in pipe flow at Reynolds numbers lower than the transitional range naturally raises the question of their relevance to the turbulent transition process. Here a series…

We theoretically investigate the pattern formation observed when a fluid flows over a solid substrate that can dissolve or melt. We use a turbulent mixing description that includes the effect of the bed roughness. We show that the…

Viscoelastic fluids are a common subclass of rheologically complex materials that are encountered in diverse fields from biology to polymer processing. Often the flows of viscoelastic fluids are unstable in situations where ordinary…

We make rigorous spectral stability analysis for non-resonant capillary-gravity waves as well as resonant Wilton ripples of sufficiently small amplitude. Our analysis is based on a periodic Evans function approach, developed recently by the…

We show that periodic traveling waves with sufficiently small amplitudes of the Whitham equation, which incorporates the dispersion relation of surface water waves and the nonlinearity of the shallow water equations,are spectrally unstable…

A mathematical model describing the initial stage of the capture of oscillatory systems into autoresonance under the action of slowly varying pumping is considered. Solutions with an infinitely growing amplitude are associated with the…

We present a numerical study of spatially quasi-periodic traveling waves on the surface of an ideal fluid of infinite depth. This is a generalization of the classic Wilton ripple problem to the case when the ratio of wave numbers satisfying…
