The wave-induced flow of internal gravity wavepackets with arbitrary aspect ratio

We examine the wave-induced flow of small-amplitude, quasi-monochromatic, three-dimensional, Boussinesq internal gravity wavepackets in a uniformly stratified ambient. It has been known since Bretherton (J. Fluid Mech., vol. 36 (4), 1969, pp. 785–803) that one-, two- and three-dimensional wavepacket...
