The Weak Turbulence Theory is a statistical framework to describe a large ensemble of nonlinearly interacting waves. The archetypal example of such system is the ocean surface that is made of interacting surface gravity waves. Here we…

The structure of discrete resonances in water-wave turbulence is studied. It is shown that the number of exact 4-wave resonances is huge (hundreds million) even in comparatively small spectral domain when both scale and angle energy…
