Stokes drift: Difference between revisions

[[File:Vitesses derive.png|right|400 px|thumb|Stokes drift under periodic waves in deep water, for a [[period (physics)|period]] ''T'' = 5 s and a mean water depth of 25 m. ''Left'': instantaneous horizontal [[flow velocity|flow velocities]]. ''Right'': [[Averageaverage]] flow velocities. Black solid line: average Eulerian velocity; red dashed line: average Lagrangian velocity, as derived from the ''Generalized Lagrangian Mean'' (GLM).]]
