Three-Dimensional Instability of Finite-Amplitude Water Waves
Abstract
Computations based on the full water-wave equations reveal that there are two distinct types of instabilities for gravity waves of finite amplitude on deep water. One is predominantly two dimensional and is related to all the known results for special cases. The other is predominantly three dimensional and becomes dominant when the wave steepness is sufficiently large.
