Weak turbulent Kolmogorov spectrum for surface gravity waves.

Numerical Simulation of Weak Turbulent Kolmogorov Spectrum in Water Surface Waves

Weak turbulent approach to the wind-generated gravity sea waves

We performed numerical simulation of the kinetic equation describing behavior of an ensemble of random-phase, spatially homogeneous gravity waves on the surface of the infinitely deep ocean. Results of simulation support the theory of weak turbulence not only in its basic points, but also in many details. The weak turbulent theory predicts that the main physical processes taking place in the wa...

Characterization of the effect of Froude number on surface waves and heat transfer in inclined turbulent open channel water flows

Interfacial heat transport in open channel turbulent flows is strongly dependent on surface waves that can appear as a result of the interaction of bulk turbulence with the free surface. The paper describes wave/heat transfer phenomena in inclined turbulent open surface water flows. The experiments were conducted in a regime of transition from ‘‘weak’’ to ‘‘strong’’ turbulence, in which the sta...

Nonlinear dynamics of flexural wave turbulence.

The Kolmogorov-Zakharov spectrum predicted by the weak turbulence theory remains elusive for wave turbulence of flexural waves at the surface of a thin elastic plate. We report a direct measurement of the nonlinear time scale T(NL) related to energy transfer between waves. This time scale is extracted from the space-time measurement of the deformation of the plate by studying the temporal dynam...

Modeling of RF Waves in Free Space Optical Communication System Under Gamma-Gamma Turbulent Channel Effect

In this paper, an enhancement design of communication system using optical radio frequency (RF) waves in free space optical communication (FSO) system is presented. To our knowledge, it is the first time that the effect of Gamma-Gamma turbulent channel model on the performance of the proposed system is analyzed and simulated. To obtain an optical communication system with good performance and h...
