Wave-induced drift in third-order deep-water theory
Raphael Stuhlmeier
The goal of this work is to investigate particle motions beneath unidirectional, deep-water waves up to the third-order in nonlinearity. A particular focus is on the approximation…

Modulational instability of nonuniformly damped, broad-banded waves: applications to waves in sea-ice
Raphael Stuhlmeier, Conor Heffernan, Alberto Alberello +1
This paper sets out to explore the modulational (or Benjamin-Feir) instability of a monochromatic wave propagating in the presence of damping such as that induced by sea-ice on the…

Nonlinear spatial evolution of degenerate quartets of water waves
Conor Heffernan, Amin Chabchoub, Raphael Stuhlmeier
In this manuscript we investigate the Benjamin-Feir (or modulation) instability for the spatial evolution of water waves from the perspective of the discrete, spatial Zakharov equa…
