Numerical modelling of flux spectra formation for surface gravity waves
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 26 April 2006
Abstract
By means of direct numerical solution of the kinetic equation for surface gravity waves, it is shown that under certain conditions the constant flux spectra of nonlinear waves, first predicted by Zakharov & Filonenko (1966) for an infinite frequency domain, can be formed in a finite frequency interval. For the case of angular isotropic spectra the conditions and timescales of this flux spectra formation are evaluated.
