Abstract

Based on the discrete form of the main governing equation derived, a single wave as the main motion of the instability analysis was found. This solution gives the whole process from the initial stage to the nonlinear equilibrium state.

Next we examined the instability of the main motion above-mentioned in the initial stage and showed the instability properties of a developing process.
