Abstract
Considered here is the interaction among detuned triad of waves comprising a plane fundamental wave and a pair of subharmonic oblique waves with spanwise wavenumber that could be different from that required for exact resonance. Results indicate that near resonance can occur over a broadband of spanwise wavenumbers in accordance with experimental and numerical results.
