The concept of mass transport is theoretically discussed within the framework provided by Vocoidal theory. The Lagrangian mass transport is divided into two parts; firstly treating the fluid as being inviscid and secondly, incorporating viscosity by means of the free surface and bottom boundaries. Eulerian mass transport is defined and is shown to correspond, in deep water, to the net flow predicted by Stokes and others.

ABSTRACTA proof is given of the existence of a slow drift associated with the passage of gravity waves over the surface of a frictionless fluid when the wave motion is irrotational. The drift is in the direction of propagation and is greatest near the surface, decreasing steadily towards the bottom, where it may be negative if the fluid is of finite depth. The particle displacement due to a solitary wave has similar properties. The proof confirms the approximate calculations of Stokes (6) and extends the proof of Rayleigh applicable only to deep water.
