One of the simplest fluid models is the so-called Trochoidal Wave •It describes each water particle as tracing out a circle whose radius decreases exponentially with depth, & has each particle share the same rotation frequencypic.twitter.com/i5fx93TXQQ

That's neat. Any paper where I can find the proof?
-
Several physics textbooks on vibrations & waves have it!

Except the solution is rotational... which means it should induce viscous forces which are missing from the Euler equation.

This is why we don't actually observe this solution experimentally ever. Instead we get things like Stoke's waves. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stokes_wave …
