Abstract

In a two-layer liquid system non-linear resonant interactions between a pair of external (surface) waves can result in transfer of energy to an internal wave when appropriate resonance conditions are satisfied. This energy transfer is likely to be more powerful than similar transfers between external waves. The shallow water case is discussed in detail.
