Abstract: The evolution of moderately short, steep two-dimensional gravity?capillary waves, from the onset of the parasitic capillary ripples to a fully developed quasi-steady stage, is studied numerically using a spectrally accurate ...

Abstract: The increased energy dissipation caused by the formation of parasitic capillary wavelets on moderately short, steep gravity?capillary waves is studied numerically. This study focuses on understanding the mechanism leading ...
