OSCILLATORY AND COMPETING INSTABILITIES IN A NONLINEAR MODEL FOR LANGMUIR CIRCULATIONS

A five-mode truncation of the full partial differential equations which describe Langmuir circulations is studied. Instabilities of different kinds are possible depending on the relative strengths of a stabilizing vertical density stratification and a destabilizing vertical Stokes drift gradient. Fo...
