| contents | We investigate kinetic energy properties of an irrotational deep-water Stokes wave. By introducing a conformal hodograph transform, we perform complex analysis in the new variables, and show that the existence of the streamline time-period for deep-water Stokes waves. Relying on the conformal mappings, we prove some qualitative results about the kinetic energy such as the convexity property of integral means of kinetic energy, the streamline time-period being non-increasing and independent of initial data and the monotonicity and logarithmic convexity of the total kinetic energy over a streamline time-period. Moreover, taking advantage of the non-increasing nature of the streamline time-period, we show that the streamline time-period strictly larger than the wave period, which suggests the fact that there are no closed paths for all particles in a deep-water Stokes flow and the drift of any streamline is positive. These results allow us to quantify the observation that the kinetic energy and the streamline time-period are larger near the free surface and decrease with increasing the depth. |
