Abstract

A higher-order, double boundary-layer theory is employed to investigate the mass transport velocity due to two-dimensional standing waves in a system consisting of two semi-infinite, homogeneous fluids of different densities and viscosities. For moderately large wave amplitudes, the leading correction to the tangential mass transport velocity near the interface is extremely significant and may typically contribute about 20% of the total velocity.
