The increased drift of steep focusing surface gravity waves
Aidan Blaser, Luc Lenain, Nick Pizzo
Irrotational and monochromatic surface gravity waves possess a mean Lagrangian drift which transports mass and enhances mixing in the upper ocean. In the ocean, where many surface…

Momentum, energy and vorticity balances in deep-water surface gravity waves
Aidan Blaser, Raphaël Benamran, A. Bia Villas Bôas +2
The particle trajectories in irrotational, incompressible and inviscid deep-water surface gravity waves are open, leading to a net drift in the direction of wave propagation common…
