文摘The effect of nonlinearity on the free surface wave resonated by an incident flow over rippled beds, which consist of fast varying topography superimposed on an otherwise slowly varying mean depth, is studied using a WKBJ-type perturbation approach.

For a steady current the dynamical system is autonomous and the possible nonlinear steady states and their stability were investigated.
