Abstract

The modulational instability of surface waves in magnetohydrodynamics is calculated in such a manner that a correct description of the role of the tangential magnetic field in the nonlinear stability characteristics of the surface waves is given. The governing boundary-value problem for the wave motions is formulated and solved. The resulting nonlinear Schroedinger equation shows clearly that the vacuum magnetic field has a completely stabilizing effect on the surface waves.
