Abstract

The to method of matched asymptotic expansions is employed to calculate the mass tre sport velocity due to combinations of small amplitude oscillatory waves propagatir, at a single frequency in fluid systems with density and viscosity dis-continuities. Interfacial boundary layers are considered in terms of the curvilinear coordinate system described by Longuet-Higgins(1). The order of magnitude of the mass transport velocity calculated for a general oscillatory disturbance is the same as that calculated for interfacial progressive waves by Dore(2). For standing waves, the time-averaged motion of the fluid particles forms a cellular structure in each fluid layer; the mass transport velocity due to modal interactions is associated with a similar structure.
