Abstract

The magnetohydrodynamic effects on the nonlinear gravity waves and capillary waves on the surface of an infinitely-conducting liquid confined by a vacuum magnetic field aligned with the unperturbed surface are studied. For the nonlinear problem, the method of strained parameters is used to obtain solutions as perturbations about the linear oscillations. The cases with wavenumbers away from the second-harmonic quasi-resonant value and wavenumbers near the latter are treated separately. Several distinctive features associated with magnetohydrodynamic nonlinear surface wave motions are pointed out.
