摘要

Although the nonlinear interactions between a single short gravity wave and a long wave can be solved analytically,the solution is less tractable in more general cases involving multiple short waves.In this work we present a numerical method of studying nonlinear interactions between a long wave and multiple short harmonic waves in infinitely deep water.Specifically,this method is applied to the calculation of the temporal and spatial evolutions of the surface elevations in which a given long wave interacts with several short harmonic waves.Another important application of our method is to quantitatively analyse the nonlinear interactions between an arbitrary short wave train and another short wave train.From simulation results,we obtain that the mechanism for the nonlinear interactions between one short wave train and another short wave train(expressed as wave train 2)leads to the energy focusing of the other short wave train(expressed as wave train 31.This mechanism Occurs on wave components with a narrow frequency bandwidth,whose frequencies are near that of wave train 3.
