Effect of varying topography on the drift in shallow-water waves

All oceanic waves induce a nonperiodic drift current that comes in addition to the periodic motion we usually associate with the waves. Shallow-water waves are waves that are long compared to the water depth, and with a motion that extends all the way dow n to the bottom. Due to frictional forces...
