Triple interaction of spiral density waves

Journal Article · · Sov. Astron. Lett. (Engl. Transl.); (United States)
OSTI ID:6653598
The nonlinear interaction of three tightly wound spiral density waves in a gaseous disk is considered, allowing for the possibility that the main wave may break up into a pair of waves on opposite sides of their corotation resonances. An expression is obtained for the growth rate of this breakup instability.
