Spatially quasi-periodic traveling gravity-capillary waves

The HADES seminar on Tuesday, April 7th will be given by Xinyu Zhao via Zoom (please contact the organizer at “wangjian at berkeley dot edu” for the Zoom ID) from 3:40 to 5 pm.

Speaker: Xinyu Zhao, Berkeley

Abstract: For linearized gravity-capillary waves, it is possible that two periodic waves with different wave numbers travel at the same speed. If the ratio of their wave numbers is irrational, the motion of the superposition of the two waves is spatially quasi-periodic. I will present a numerical study of the spatially quasi-periodic gravity-capillary waves in deep water and introduce a conformal mapping formulation for the wave equations. This is a joint work with Jon Wilkening.
