Abstract
Raetz [1,2] and Stuart [3] first showed theoretically that resonant triads of Tollmein-Schlichting waves can occur in boundary-layer flows. At about the same time, interest arose in resonance (triads and quartets) among surface waves in water (Phillips [4], McGoldrick [5]) and among surface and internal waves in stratified fluid (Ball [6], Thorpe [7], Davis & Acrivos [8]). Meanwhile, similar advances were taking place in other fields, notably nonlinear optics and plasma physics. Subsequently, Kelly [9,10] examined subharmonic and three-wave resonance among neutrally-stable inviscid modes in jet and shear-layer profiles; while Craik [11] demonstrated that resonant triads of surface gravity waves exist if a sufficiently strong mean shear flow is present.
