The formation of zonal flows from inhomogeneous drift-wave (DW) turbulence is often described using statistical theories derived within the quasilinear approximation. However, this approximation neglects wave--wave collisions. Hence, some…
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…
We prove a vanishing property of the normal form transformation of the 1D cubic nonlinear Schr\"odinger (NLS) equation with periodic boundary conditions on $[0,L]$. We apply this property to quintic resonance interactions and obtain a…
Kinetic regime of capillary wave turbulence is classically regarded in terms of three-wave interactions with the exponent of power energy spectrum being $\nu=-7/4$ (two-dimensional case). We show that a number of assumptions necessary for…
We provide a rigorous justification of various kinetic regimes exhibited by the nonlinear Schr\"{o}dinger equation with an additive stochastic forcing and a viscous dissipation. The importance of such damped-driven models stems from their…
We study the properties of energy flux in wave turbulence via the Majda-McLaughlin-Tabak (MMT) equation with a quadratic dispersion relation. One of our purposes is to resolve the inter-scale energy flux $P$ in the stationary state to…
Six-wave interactions are used for modeling various physical systems, including in optical wave turbulence [16] (where a cascade of photons displays this kind of behavior) and in quantum wave turbulence [31] (for the interaction of Kelvin…
As three particles are advected by a turbulent flow, they separate from each other and develop non trivial geometries, which effectively reflect the structure of the turbulence. We investigate here the geometry, in a statistical sense, of…
A novel D-model of wave turbulence is presented which allows to reproduce in a single frame various nonlinear wave phenomena such as intermittency, formation and direction of energy cascades, possible growth of nonlinearity due to direct…
We present a derivation using kinetic wave theory of the two-dimensional empirical Garrett--Munk spectrum for ocean internal waves, valid at all frequencies including near-inertial frequencies. This is based directly on the governing…
We derive a new kinetic and a porous medium equations from the nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation with random potentials. The kinetic equation has a very similar form with the 4-wave turbulence kinetic equation in the wave turbulence theory.…
A weak wave turbulence theory is developed for two-dimensional (2D) magnetohydrodynamics (MHD). We derive and analyze the kinetic equation describing the three-wave interactions of pseudo-Alfv\'en waves. Our analysis is greatly helped by…
This work investigates the initial value problem (IVP) for the two-parameter family of dispersive wave equations known as the Majda-McLaughlin-Tabak (MMT) model, which arises in the weak turbulence theory of random waves. The MMT model can…
In this paper, we discuss the problem of derivation of kinetic equations from the theory of weak turbulence for the quintic Schr\"odinger equation. We study the quintic Schr\"odinger equation on $L\mathbb T$, with $L\gg 1$ and with a…
In a series of previous works (arXiv:2104.11204, arXiv:2110.04565, arXiv:2301.07063), we gave a rigorous derivation of the homogeneous wave kinetic equation (WKE) up to small multiples of the kinetic timescale, which corresponds to short…
A mean-field approach (filtering out subgrid scales) is applied to the Boltzmann equation in order to derive a subgrid turbulence model based on kinetic theory. It is demonstrated that the only Smagorinsky type model which survives in the…
We investigate the dynamic transition of quantum turbulence (QT) in a confined potential field as the system evolves from purely two-dimensional (2D) to quasi-two-dimensional, and ultimately to three-dimensional (3D), by fixing the lateral…
We study bidirectional one-dimensional (1-D) shallow-water waves within a class of Boussinesq equations, including the integrable Kaup-Boussinesq (KB) equation and a truncated-dispersion variant, which serves as a representative…
We argue that the physics of interacting Kelvin Waves (KWs) is highly non-trivial and cannot be understood on the basis of pure dimensional reasoning. A consistent theory of KW turbulence in superfluids should be based upon explicit…
We consider the nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation set on a flat torus, in the regime which is conjectured to lead to the kinetic wave equation; in particular, the data are random, and spread up to high frequency in a weakly nonlinear regime.…
