Energy Density, Energy Flux and Momentum Flux of Surface Waves

[math]\displaystyle{ \varepsilon(t) = \ \mbox{Energy in control volume} \ \gamma(t) }[/math] :

[math]\displaystyle{ \varepsilon (t) = \rho \iiint_V \left( \frac{1}{2} V^2 + gZ \right) dV }[/math]

Mean energy over unit horizongtal surface area [math]\displaystyle{ S \, }[/math] :

[math]\displaystyle{ \overline{\varepsilon} = \overline{\frac{\varepsilon(t)}{S}} = \rho }[/math]
