Abstract

We adopt a robust numerical continuation scheme to examine the global bifurcation of periodic travelling waves of the capillary–gravity Whitham equation, which combines the dispersion in the linear theory of capillary–gravity waves and a shallow water nonlinearity. We employ a highly accurate numerical method for space discretization and time stepping, to address orbital stability and instability for a rich variety of the solutions. Our findings can help classify capillary–gravity waves and understand their long-term dynamics.
