“…This is an important property of the Lagrangian flow description. We note that for both, the two-dimensional Gerstners wave [7,19] and a number of three-dimensional generalizations [32,33,34], a mixture of analytical and topological methods can be applied to prove that the Lagrangian flow-map describing these exact solutions is a global diffeomorphism, with the result that the flow is globally dynamically possible. In Eq.…”
