Lagrangian transport by deep-water surface gravity wavepackets: effects of directional spreading and stratifcation
- Abstract:
-
The Lagrangian mass transport by non-dissipating surface gravity wavepackets consists of the Stokes drift and the wave-induced return flow. We examine how directional spreading and density stratification affect this mass transport for an isolated non-dissipating wavepacket in deep water using a perturbation expansion. For an unstratified ocean, we show that the net displacement by the return flow is finite, negative, the same at all vertical levels and inversely proportional to the depth for ...
