The Fourth-Order Nonlinear Schrödinger Equation and Stability Analysis for Stokes Waves on Slowly Varying Topography

The surface gravity wave equation is expanded to the fourth-order wave steepness on slowly varying topography, obtaining a topographic modified nonlinear Schrödinger (TMNLS) equation. When the time scale is longer than ε-3 times of the dominant wave period or the space scale is larger than ε-3 times...
