Write the surface displacement and the perturbation velocity potential as small quantities about rest, and drop their quadratic products. Evaluating the remaining surface terms at the unperturbed level gives
The velocity components are , . The shift of the evaluation point from zero to contributes a product of perturbations, as do and the kinetic-energy term, so they disappear at this order.
