Fourth order nonlinear evolution equations, which are a good starting point for the study of nonlinear water waves, are derived for deep water surface capillary gravity waves in the presence of second waves in which air is blowing over water. Here it is assumed that the space variation of the amplitude takes place only in a direction along which the group velocity projection of the two waves overlap. A stability analysis is made for a uniform wave train in the presence of a second wave train. Graphs are plotted for the maximum growth rate of instability wave number at marginal stability and wave number separation of fastest growing sideband component against wave steepness. Significant improvements are noticed from the results obtained from the two coupled third order nonlinear Schrödinger equations.

By exact numerical computation Yuen (1984) obtained regions of type-I instability for waves propagating at the interface of two superposed fluids of infinite thickness in which the upper fluid has a constant streaming velocity. In the present paper it is shown that the long wavelength part of these instability regions can be obtained analytically from a fourth order nonlinear evolution equation for small but finite amplitude interfacial capillary gravity waves in the presence of air flowing over water.
