Laboratory study of the wave-induced mean flow and set-down in unidirectional surface gravity wave packets on finite water depth
The net movement of Lagrangian particles under water waves comprises a Stokes drift in the direction of wave propagation and an Eulerian return flow in the opposing direction. Accurate prediction of the Eulerian return flow in the ocean is of importance in modelling the transport of plastic pollutio...
