Which mechanism increases wave damping of offshore platforms?

💡 Explanation

Viscous dissipation increases when the boundary layer thickness reduces wave energy because fluid viscosity converts kinetic energy to heat. Therefore, wave damping rises, rather than hydrostatic pressure increasing at greater depths or surface tension decreasing.
