窄带方向海浪的不稳定性和非线性演化

Instability and Nonlinear Evolution of Narrow-Band Directional Ocean Waves

Bengt Eliasson, Padma K. Shukla

摘要:

通过对窄带表面波运动方程的数值模拟,研究了定向海浪的不稳定性和非线性演化。我们的模拟结果揭示了长峰波列的调制不稳定性的发病,这与最近的大规模实验在波浪盆地,其中发现,较窄的方向谱导致海浪的自聚焦和极端事件的概率增强。我们发现,调制不稳定性是非线性饱和的波谱加宽,这导致稳定的水波系统。讨论了这些结果在物理学其它领域,如非线性光学和等离子体物理中的应用。

英文摘要:

The instability and nonlinear evolution of directional ocean waves is investigated numerically by means of simulations of the governing kinetic equation for narrow-band surface waves. Our simulation results reveal the onset of the modulational instability for long-crested wave-trains, which agrees well with recent large-scale experiments in wave-basins, where it was found that narrower directional spectra leads to self-focusing of ocean waves and an enhanced probability of extreme events. We find that the modulational instability is nonlinearly saturated by a broadening of the wave-spectrum, which leads to the stabilization of the water-wave system. Applications of our results to other fields of physics, such as nonlinear optics and plasma physics are discussed.
