Abstract
Wave decay on glass surfaces at high temperatures is treated assuming glass to behave as a Newtonian viscous fluid in the high-temperature region. To meet with different kinds of irregularities and various production techniques, two-dimensional and axisymmetric waves with several boundary conditions are analyzed, each yielding the amplitude ratio at any instant in terms of the physical constants. Crude experiments are performed and found to agree fairly well with the theoretical results.
