Abstract

We apply a canonical transformation to a water wave equation to remove cubic nonlinear terms and to drastically simplify fourth-order terms in the Hamiltonian. This transformation explicitly uses the vanishing exact four-wave interaction for water gravity waves for a 2D potential fluid. After transformation, the well-known but cumbersome Zakharov equation is drastically simplified and can be written in X-space in a compact form. This new equation is very suitable for analytical studies and numerical simulations.
