In this talk I will consider a 2-dimensional air-water system (i.e., a two-fluid system with the density of one of the fluids limiting to zero) in a channel. Both fluids are supposed to be inviscid, incompressible, and homogeneous. I will show that the connection properties of the air domain affect total horizontal momentum conservation, despite the apparent translational invariance of the system.
