Abstract:
We study wave turbulence of capillary-gravity waves
nonlinearly interacting at the surface of a fluid layer. The
statistical properties of the deformation of the interface are analyzed
and comared to theoretical predictions. We report the phenomena of
intermittency and study the fluctuations of the energy flux driving the
waves. experiments in parabolic flights are performed in order to study
the pure capillary regime without being perturbed by the effect of
gravity.
