Application of the generalized Melnikov method to weakly damped parametrically excited cross waves with surface tension

Creator:

Fadel, Suzan M.

Abstract:

The Wiggins-Holmes extension of the generalized Melnikov method (GMM) is applied to weakly damped parametrically excited cross waves with surface tension in a long rectangular wave channel in order to determine if these cross waves are chaotic. The Lagrangian density function for surface waves with surface tension is simplified by...
