Non-stationary regimes of surface gravity wave turbulence
DOI: 10.7868/S0370274X13080055
Abstract
We present experimental results about rising and decaying gravity wave turbulence in a large laboratory flume. We consider the time evolution of the wave energy spectral components in ω- and k-domains and demonstrate that emerging wave turbulence can be characterized by two time scales - a short dynamical scale due to nonlinear wave interactions and a longer kinetic time scale characterising formation of a stationary wave energy spectrum. In the decay regime we observed the maximum of the wave energy spectrum decreasing in time initially as the power law, \propto t^{-1/2}, as predicted by the weak turbulence theory, and then exponentially due to viscous friction.
