A formula for the viscous decay of a long internal solitary wave, propagating into a quiescent fluid in a two-layer model was derived. The result is analogous to Keulegan’s (1948) formula for the viscous decay of long surface waves. The requirement of quiescent fluid ahead of the wave is important, as indicated by a comparison with experiments.
