Abstract

A study is made of the stability of the equilibrium of the free surface of an infinite layer of inviscid incompressible liquid executing oscillations along the vertical axis. The problem is solved in the nonlinear formulation by series expansion with respect to the amplitude of the excitation. Soft and hard excitation regimes of the surface waves are obtained. The stability of the regimes is investigated. It is shown that the plane wave formed on the surface of the liquid is unstable.
