Spectral up- and downshifting of Akhmediev breathers under wind forcing
Spectral up- and downshifting of Akhmediev breathers under wind forcing
We experimentally and numerically investigate the effect of wind forcing on the spectral dynamics of Akhmediev breathers, a wave-type known to model the modulation instability. We develop the wind model to the same order in wave steepness as the higher order modification of the nonlinear Schrödinger equation, also referred to …
