Note on the effect of surface tension on water waves at an inertial surface

  • P. F. Rhodes-Robinson (a1)
Abstract

This note is to show that in the presence of surface tension small progressive waves can always exist in water having an inertial surface composed of uniformly distributed floating particles, in contrast to the known result in the absence of surface tension that precludes propagation under a surface that is too heavy.
