Resonant sideband instabilities in wave propagation in fluidized beds

Abstract
We consider possible mechanisms for the observed secondary instability of travelling instability waves in liquid fluidized beds. The resonance conditions for quadratic nonlinear interaction are solved in the long-wave limit by perturbation theory. The estimated horizontal wavenumber of the resonant sideband agrees well with experiment and supports the proposed mechanism.
