In nature, the wind waves of the gravity–capillary range are noticeably skewed forward. The salient feature of such waves is a characteristic pattern of capillary ripples on their crests. The train of these ‘parasitic capillaries’ is not symmetric wi... Read More about On the physical mechanism of front-back asymmetry of non-breaking gravity-capillary waves.
