چکیده

In this paper, we numerically study the wave turbulence of surface gravity waves in framework Euler equations free surface. The purpose is to understand variation scaling spectra with wavenumber $k$ and energy flux $P$ at different nonlinearity levels under forcing/free-decay conditions. For all conditions (free decay, narrow- broadband forcing) consider, find that spectral forms approach theory (WTT) solution $S_\eta\sim k^{-5/2}$ P^{1/3}$ high levels. With decrease level, for cases become steeper, narrow-band forcing case exhibiting most rapid deviation from WTT. To interpret these variations, further investigate two hypothetical disputable mechanisms about bound finite-size effect. Through a tri-coherence analysis, effect present cases, which responsible overall steepening reduced capacity lower fraction domain generally decreases except case, exhibits transition some critical level below increase observed. This serves as main reason fastest WTT case.

Direct numerical investigation of turbulence of capillary waves.

We consider the inertial range spectrum of capillary wave turbulence. Under the assumptions of weak turbulence, the theoretical surface elevation spectrum scales with wave number k as Iη∼k(α), where α=α0=-19/4, energy (density) flux P as P(1/2). The proportional factor C, known as the Kolmogorov constant, has a theoretical value of C=C0=9.85 (we show that this value holds only after a formulati...

Numerical investigation of turbulence generation in non-breaking potential waves

[1] Theoretically, potential waves cannot generate the vortex motion, but scale considerations indicate that if the steepness of waves is not too small, Reynolds number can exceed critical values. This means that in presence of initial non-potential disturbances the orbital velocities can generate the vortex motion and turbulence. In the paper, this problem was investigated numerically on basis...

Analytical and numerical investigation of nonlinear internal gravity waves

The propagation of long, weakly nonlinear internal waves in a stratified gas is studied. Hydrodynamic equations for an ideal fluid with the perfect gas law describe the atmospheric gas behaviour. If we neglect the term ρ dw/dt (product of the density and vertical acceleration), we come to a so-called quasistatic model, while we name the full hydrodynamic model as a nonquasistatic one. Both quas...

Freely decaying weak turbulence for sea surface gravity waves.

We study the long-time evolution of deep-water ocean surface waves in order to better understand the behavior of the nonlinear interaction processes that need to be accurately predicted in numerical models of wind-generated ocean surface waves. Of particular interest are those nonlinear interactions which are predicted by weak turbulence theory to result in a wave energy spectrum of the form of...

Investigation of a lattice gas model for surface gravity waves

A recently proposed lattice gas model for simulating surface waves at a free boundary is described in detail. Simulated waves are compared to linear theory and are seen to compare well, provided an additional parameter e is introduced. This parameter, e , is investigated and found to be required due to the density gradient produced across the fluid by the gravitational interaction. Its value an...
