Abstract

A simple formula for ‘wave damping’ is derived, exact within the context of the proposed theory, namely: potential flow correct to second order in the wave amplitude and to leading order in U/c, where U is the drift velocity and c the wave celerity. The analysis is restricted to a two-dimensional problem although the extension to three dimensions seems possible.
