We derive a scheme by which to solve the Liouville equation perturbatively in the nonlinearity, which we apply to weakly nonlinear classical field theories. Our solution is a variant of the Prigogine diagrammatic method, and is based on an…
It has long been known that weakly nonlinear field theories can have a late-time stationary state that is not the thermal state, but a wave turbulent state with a far-from-equilibrium cascade of energy. We go beyond the existence of the…
We consider turbulence of waves that interact weakly via four-wave scattering (sea waves, plasma waves, spin waves, and many others). In the first non-vanishing order in the interaction, the occupation number of waves satisfy a closed…
Starting from the two-dimensional Boussinesq equation without rotation, we derive a kinetic equation for weak interaction of internal waves using non-canonical variables. We follow a formalism introduced by P. Ripa in the 80's. The…
We present a systematic derivation of the wave kinetic equation describing the dynamics of a statistically inhomogeneous incoherent wave field in a medium with a weak quadratic nonlinearity. The medium can be nonstationary and…
Basic physics of drift-wave turbulence and zonal flows has long been studied within the framework of wave-kinetic theory. Recently, this framework has been re-examined from first principles, which has led to more accurate yet still…
Starting from the beam wave equation, which has a Schr\"odinger structure, on a hypercubic lattice of size $L$, with weak nonlinearity of strength $\lambda$, we show that the two point correlation function can be asymptotically expressed as…
Different dynamics, described by kinetic equation and clipping method is shown as well as a role of approximate resonances in wave turbulence theory. Applications of clipping method are sketched for gravity-capillary and drift waves. Brief…
The statistical evolution of ensembles of random, weakly-interacting waves is governed by wave kinetic equations. To simplify the analysis, one frequently works with reduced differential models of the wave kinetics. However, the conditions…
We study wave turbulence in systems with two special properties: a large number of fields (large $N$) and a nonlinear interaction that is strongly local in momentum space. The first property allows us to find the kinetic equation at all…
In this work, we discuss a situation which could lead to both wave turbulence and collective behavior kinetic equations. The wave turbulence kinetic models appear in the kinetic limit when the wave equations have local differential…
In wave turbulence, it has been believed that statistical properties are well described by the weak turbulence theory, in which nonlinear interactions among wavenumbers are assumed to be small. In the weak turbulence theory, separation of…
The self-organization of turbulence into regular zonal flows can be fruitfully investigated with quasilinear methods and statistical descriptions. A wave kinetic equation that assumes asymptotically large-scale zonal flows is pathological.…
Rotating turbulence is ubiquitous in nature. Previous works suggest that such turbulence could be described as an ensemble of interacting inertial waves across a wide range of length scales. For turbulence in macroscopic quantum…
Cortical activity recorded through EEG and MEG reflects complex dynamics that span multiple temporal and spatial scales. Spectral analyses of these signals consistently reveal power-law behaviour, a hallmark of turbulent systems. In this…
Wave turbulence is by nature a multiple time scale problem for which there is a natural asymptotic closure. The main result of this analytical theory is the kinetic equation that describes the long-time statistical behaviour of such…
The last decade has seen a significant increase in the number of studies devoted to wave turbulence. Many deal with water waves, as modeling of ocean waves has historically motivated the development of weak turbulence theory, which adresses…
The nonlinear interaction, due to quantum electrodynamical (QED) effects, between photons is investigated using a wave-kinetic description. Starting from a coherent wave description, we use the Wigner transform technique to obtain a set of…
This manuscript concerns the dynamical interactions between wind and water waves, which are characterized through two-phase free interface problems for the Euler equations. We provide a comprehensive derivation on the linearized problems of…
We report the quantitative experimental observation of the weak inertial-wave turbulence regime of rotating turbulence. We produce a statistically steady homogeneous turbulent flow that consists of nonlinearly interacting inertial waves,…
