Abstract

AbstractEquations are derived which describe the evolution of the mean flow generated by a progressing water wave packet. The effect of friction is included, and so the equations are subject to the boundary conditions first derived by Longuet-Higgins [10]. Solutions of the equations are obtained for a wave packet of finite length, and also for a uniform wave train. The latter solution is compared with experiments.
