DOI: 10.1017/jfm.2021.72
Abstract: Abstract Periodic water waves generate Stokes drift as manifest from the orbits of Lagrangian particles not fully closing. Stokes drift can contribute to the transport of floating marine litter, including plastic. Previously, marine litter objects… read more here.
