Abstract

The theory of laminar boundary layers is employed to determine the rate of decay of small amplitude oscillations of a non-homogeneous viscous fluid which completely fills a stationary rectangular container. An application of Green's formula is invoked and an expression is obtained in terms of the (general) density and viscosity distributions.
