Abstract
We investigate the motion of infinitesimal particles in the how held i nside the fluid under a traveling surface wave. It is shown that, even for two-dimensional waves, a superposition of two or more traveling h armonic waves is enough to generate chaotic particle motion, i.e., Lag rangian chaos.
