Abstract

The dispersion equation describing the character of the equilibrium of two viscous incompressible superposed fluids under the action of gravity is considered in detail. Approximations for extreme wave-numbers are obtained and exact numerical results for particular cases are given. The existence of certain secondary modes is also considered.
