We performed numerical simulations of decaying quantum turbulence by using a generalized Gross-Pitaevskii equation, that includes a beyond mean field correction and a nonlocal interaction potential. The nonlocal potential is chosen in order…
Three-wave interactions form the basis of our understanding of many pattern forming systems because they encapsulate the most basic nonlinear interactions. In problems with two comparable length scales, it is possible for two waves of the…

We consider turbulent 4-wave interaction of two types of waves: acoustic waves (dispersion $\omega = k$) and electromagnetic-type waves (dispersion $\Omega^2 = m^2 + p^2$). For large wave vectors ($ k \gg m$), when the dispersion of EM-type…

We study a three-wave truncation of a recently proposed damped/forced high-order nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation for deep-water gravity waves under the effect of wind and viscosity. The evolution of the norm (wave-action) and spectral mean…
We prove decay estimates for solutions to non-isotropic linear systems of wave equations. The defining feature of these estimates is that they depend only on the commutation properties of the system with the scaling vector field. As…
When magnetohydrodynamic turbulence evolves in the presence of a large-scale mean magnetic field, an anisotropy develops relative to that preferred direction. The well-known tendency is to develop stronger gradients perpendicular to the…
