✦ Synopsis

Using phase plane analysis we show that within the framework of linear water wave theory the particle paths in a deep-water wave are not closed: there is a forward drift over a period, which decreases with greater depth.

We investigate the particle trajectories in a constant vorticity shallow water flow over a flat bed as periodic waves propagate on the water's free surface. Within the framework of small amplitude waves, we find the solutions of the nonlinear differential equations system which describes the particl

In this paper we describe a new approach in which finite element analysis is applied to predict charged particle trajectories in a liquid continuum across which a non-linear electrical field is applied. The equations of motion and equations describing the distribution of the electrical field in the
