Abstract Stability and dynamics of a distributed gravity traveling-wave system which is of practical importance in ocean-wave modeling are studied in this paper. A new cubic nonlinear evolution equation for the distributed wave system has been derived. The instability findings of the primary wave system are of critical value in the study of real wind waves and are technically a generalization of the Benjamin–Feir instability for a monochromatic water-wave system.
