| Abstract: | We investigate the pressure within an irrotational fluid in a periodic, steady, two‐dimensional gravity wave above a flat bed. We prove that the pressure in the fluid strictly decreases horizontally away from the crest line. Furthermore, the pressure strictly increases with depth. We also investigate the effect of an underlying current on the paths of the particles. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. |
