Abstract
A profound analogy between the Landau damping of plasma waves and the resonant mechanism of wave generation on a water surface by wind is discussed. A new simple derivation of the former effect is presented which explicitly demonstrates the essential role of the integrals of motion (the vorticity for an inviscid fluid, and the particle distribution function for a collisionless plasma) in these phenomena.
