Subharmonic resonance of nonlinear cross-waves: Theory and experiments.

The generation and evolution of cross-waves in a channel are investigated analytically, numerically and experimentally. The derivation of the modulation equation governing the inviscid cross-wave amplitude yields the nonlinear Schrodinger equation with a homogeneous Robin boundary condition at the w...
