Nonlinear Stokes waves on the surface of low-viscosity fluid
The statements of nonlinear boundary-value problem for wave propagation over the free surface of low-viscosity fluid have been presented. Solution is found by the method of time-varying frequency, which is the Stokes' method generalized for the dissipative wave processes. The asymptotic solution up to the third-order approximation upon the wave parameter has been found. It is shown that the frequency and damping rate of the nonlinear wave tend in time to the values corresponding to a linear problem. Nonlinear trajectories of fluid particles and the expression for transfer velocity in a low-viscosity Stokes fluid have been defined.
