| Abstract: | We consider nonlinear wave motions in strongly buoyant mixed forced–free convection boundary layer flows. In the natural limit of large Reynolds number the nonlinear evolution of a single monochromatic wave mode is shown to be governed by a novel wave/mean-flow interaction in which the wave amplitude and the wave induced mean-flow are of comparable size. A nonlinear integral equation describing the bifurcation to finite-amplitude travelling wave solutions is derived. Solutions of this equation are presented together with a discussion of their physical significance. Received 10 December 1996 and accepted 14 April 1997 |
