Nonlinear temporal dynamics in magnetic fluids between undulatory parallel walls

The effects of undulatory parallel walls and a normal magnetic field on the stability of weakly nonlinear waves at a horizontal interface of two magnetic inviscid fluids are investigated. We assumed that the walls have a weak sinusoidal undulation. The frequency of the main waves is similar to a problem having smooth boundaries. The breaker surface tension and the breaker magnetic field are obtained. The stability analysis concerns the interaction of two propagation wave numbers satisfying the resonance condition imposed by the periodicity of the sinusoidal walls. The first-resonance case occurs whenever the wall wave number is nearly equal to twice the propagation wave number while the second-resonance case occurs whenever the two kinds of wave numbers are nearly equal. When the wave number of the undulation is far from the propagation wave number, the sinusoidal walls have the same effect of the smooth walls on the stability criterion. The stability conditions and the transition curves in the two resonance cases are treated away from the critical state. The existence conditions and stability of Stokes waves near the critical state are discussed. Numerous illustrations and graphs amplify the work.
