Two hypotheses concerning the turbulent flow over an infinitesimal-amplitude travelling wave are investigated. One hypothesis, originally made by Miles, is that the wave does not affect the turbulence and therefore the turbulent Reynolds stresses are dependent only on height above the mean wave surface. Alternatively, the proposal that turbulent stresses are primarily dependent on height above the instantaneous wave surface is examined. Numerical solutions of the appropriate equations are compared with Stewart's recent experimental results and with the approximate solutions employed by Miles and others. No definite conclusion can be reached from comparison with experimental results since the predicted flows are quite sensitive to details of the mean velocity profile near the wave surface where no data was taken. It is found that the asymptotic results do not apply for the conditions investigated.
