Gravity wave turbulence in a laboratory flume.
We present an experimental study of the statistics of surface gravity wave turbulence in a flume of a horizontal size 12 x 6 m. For a wide range of amplitudes the wave energy spectrum was found to scale as Eomega approximately omega(-nu) in a frequency range of up to one decade. However, nu appears to be nonuniversal: it depends on the wave intensity and ranges from about 6 to 4. We discuss our...
متن کاملGravity surface wave turbulence in a laboratory flume
We present experimental results for water wave turbulence excited by piston-like programmed wavemakers in a water flume with dimensions 6 × 12 × 1.5 meters. Our main finding is that for a wide range of excitation amplitudes the energy spectrum has a power-law scaling, Eω ∼ ω−ν . These scalings were achieved in up to one-decade wide frequency range, which is significantly wider than the range av...
متن کاملLaboratory Experiments on Wave Turbulence
This review paper is devoted to a presentation of recent progress in wave turbulence. I first present the context and state of the art of this field of research both experimentally and theoretically. I then focus on the case of wave turbulence on the surface of a fluid, and I discuss the main results obtained by our group: caracterization of the gravity and capillary wave turbulence regimes, th...
متن کاملGravity wave turbulence in wave tanks: space and time statistics.
We present the first simultaneous space-time measurements for gravity wave turbulence in a large laboratory flume. We found that the slopes of k and omega wave spectra depend on wave intensity. This cannot be explained by any existing theory considering wave turbulence as the result of either breaking events or weakly nonlinear wave interactions. Instead, we show that random waves and breaking ...
متن کاملObservation of gravity-capillary wave turbulence.
We report the observation of the crossover between gravity and capillary wave turbulence on the surface of mercury. The probability density functions of the turbulent wave height are found to be asymmetric and thus non-Gaussian. The surface wave height displays power-law spectra in both regimes. In the capillary region, the exponent is in fair agreement with weak turbulence theory. In the gravi...
