Abstract

An analytical expression of the second order of smallness in wave amplitude-to-wavelength ratio is derived for a horizontal flow arising in a finite-depth layer of a viscous liquid under the action of a periodic nonlinear capillary wave. It is found that the liquid flow is determined by the nonlinear component of the velocity field vortex part and the flow rate increases with increasing viscosity and decreasing wavelength irrespective of the layer thickness. In thin layers, the flow rate rapidly drops from its maximal value with increasing viscosity, wavelength, and surface charge density. If the liquid surface is charged, the horizontal liquid flow decreases rapidly as the surface charge density approaches the threshold of the Tonks-Frenkel instability.
