Experiments in Surface Gravity-Capillary Wave Turbulence

Eric Falcon et al.

Summary: In the past decade, there has been a significant increase in wave turbulence studies, particularly in the field of water waves. The theoretical modeling of ocean waves, which has driven the development of weak turbulence theory, has been found to be too idealized to capture experimental observations. Laboratory observations have revealed that the waves studied are actually gravity-capillary waves, as opposed to ocean waves. This richer physics has led to various physical effects beyond the theoretical framework, especially in the gravity-capillary crossover region.

Downscale energy fluxes in scale-invariant oceanic internal wave turbulence

Giovanni Dematteis et al.

Summary: The study analyzed the scale-invariant stationary solution to the internal-wave kinetic equation, finding that the main contributions to resonant energy transfers come from triads with extreme scale separation and quasi-collinear waves in the horizontal plane. Using the modified scale-invariant limit of the Garrett and Munk spectrum of internal waves, the magnitude of energy flux towards high wavenumbers in both vertical and horizontal directions was calculated, showing favorable comparison with finescale parametrization of ocean mixing proposed by Polzin et al.

Energy balance and mixing between waves and eddies in stably stratified turbulence

H. Lam et al.

Summary: The study focuses on the strong stratification regime of stably stratified turbulence and the viscosity-affected stratified state, decomposing the three-dimensional velocity-density fields into internal gravity waves (IGWs) and eddy motion. Separate evolution equations for IGWs and eddies are established. At Re-b around 1, a significant exchange of energy from IGWs to eddies is observed, while for Re-b > 1, the dynamics of IGWs and eddies appear to be separate with no global energy exchange. The mixing due to eddies is found to be four times greater than that due to waves at the largest Re-b considered.

Three-dimensionality of the triadic resonance instability of a plane inertial wave

Daniel Odens Mora et al.

Summary: By theoretical analysis and numerical integration, we investigated the triadic resonance instability (TRI) of a plane inertial wave in a rotating fluid, showing that the maximum growth rate of the TRI is found for secondary waves that do not propagate in the same vertical plane as the primary wave. Experimental evidence confirms the three-dimensional nature of the TRI of a plane inertial wave, with wave vectors of secondary waves matching theoretical predictions based on the maximum growth rate criterion.
