The first frame was taken before any waves reached the smoke outlet. The first waves that do pass are little more than ripples. Frame b. is taken after one of the first ripples. Frame d. was taken after the first full-sized wave had passed and frame e. after the third full-sized wave. At later times, the smoke was being carried to the right too fast to detect in still photography. 3. The effects of viscosity on the wave-driven wind According to the theory of interface waves in an inviscid fluid, the horizontal component of the velocity.
