Viscous damping of small amplitude waves in a non-homogeneous fluid of infinite depth
TLDR
In this article, a general formula for the viscous damping of small amplitude waves in a non-homogeneous fluid of infinite depth was derived and shown to be identical to that for a homogeneous fluid.About:

Numerical comparisons of the damping of internal gravity waves in stratified fluids
D. J. Crampin,B. D. Dore +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the attenuation of progressive internal waves in stratified fluids consisting of a representation of a single thermocline, a weak exponential density distribution and a two-layer system was compared.

On secondary vorticity in internal waves
B. D. Dore,M. A. Al-Zanaidi +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the generation of secondary vorticity in maintained and temporallydecaying wave motions for internal waves in fluid of great depth, and established a steady state for maintained waves, and the mass transport velocity field was investigated.

The disintegration of wave trains on deep water Part 1. Theory
T. Brooke Benjamin,J. E. Feir +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a theoretical analysis of the stability of periodic wave trains to small disturbances in the form of a pair of side-band modes is presented, where the wave train becomes highly irregular far from its origin, even when the departures from periodicity are scarcely detectable at the start.

Instability of Periodic Wavetrains in Nonlinear Dispersive Systems
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that wavetrains are unstable to small disturbances of a certain kind, so that in practice they will disintegrate if the attempt is made to send them over great distances.

The viscous damping of gravity waves in shallow water
TL;DR: In this paper, it is shown that le taux de dissipation visqueuse de l'energie d'une onde de gravite can be approximated by a 1/2-approximation.
