Abstract
The interaction between small-amplitude surface waves and a wavy bed d escribed by two sinusoids is considered. Based on the method of multip le scales, an analytical theory for subharmonic Bragg resonances cause d by second-order interactions between the surface wave and the seabed is derived. Comparisons with experiments and with a numerical theory are also discussed. (C) 1996 American Institute of Physics.
