the velocity is incorporated into his ansatz for $$f$$;
in other words, he assumed that the entire liquid is moving at $$q_0$$.
For a wave going in the positive $$x$$-direction,
-the linearized problem then predicts a profile $$\eta(x \!-\! (\sqrt{g h} \!+\! q_0))$$,
+the linearized problem then predicts a profile $$\eta(x \!-\! (\sqrt{g h} \!+\! q_0) t)$$,
so de Vries chose $$q_0 = -\sqrt{g h}$$ to make it stationary.
Analogously, $$q_0 = \sqrt{g h}$$ for a backward-moving wave.
With this in mind, the ansatz is:
