Abstract :

Asymptotically exact and nonlocal third order nonlinear evolution equations are derivedfor two counterpropagating surface capillary gravity wave packets in deep water in thepresence of wind flowing over water.From these evolution equations stability analysis ismade for a uniform standing surface capillary gravity wave trains for longitudinal perturbation. Instability condition is obtained and graphs are plotted for maximum growth rateof instability and for wave number at marginal stability against wave steepness for some different values of dimensionless wind velocity.
