gravity wave
gravity wave[′grav·əd·ē ‚wāv] (fluid mechanics) A wave at a gas-liquid interface which depends primarily upon gravitational forces, surface tension and viscosity being of secondary importance. A wave in a fluid medium in which restoring forces are provided primarily by buoyancy (that is, gravity) rather than by compression. AcronymsSeegee whizgravity wave
