Kinetic wave turbulence
From MaRDI portal
Abstract: We consider a general model of Hamiltonian wave systems with triple resonances, in the standard kinetic limit of a continuum of weakly interacting dispersive waves with random phases. In this asymptotic limit we show that the correct dynamical equation for multimode amplitude distributions is not the well-known equation of Peierls but is instead a reduced equation with only a subset of the terms in that equation. The equations that we derive are the direct analogue of the Boltzmann hierarchy obtained from the BBGKY hierarchy in the low-density limit for gases. We show that the asymptotic multimode equations possess factorized solutions for factorized initial data, which correspond to preservation in time of the property of "random phases & amplitudes". The factors satisfy the equations for the 1-mode probability density functions previously derived by Jakobsen & Newell and Choi et al. We show that the factorization of the hierarchy equations implies that these quantities are self-averaging: they satisfy the wave-kinetic closure equations of the spectrum and 1-mode PDF for almost any selection of phases and amplitudes from the initial ensemble. We show that both of these closure equations satisfy an H-theorem for an entropy defined by Boltzmann's prescription. We also characterize the general solutions of our multimode distribution equations, for initial conditions with random phases but with no assumptions on the amplitudes. Analogous to a result of Spohn for the Boltzmann hierarchy, these are "super-statistical solutions" that correspond to ensembles of solutions of the wave-kinetic closure equations with random initial conditions or random forces. On the basis of our results, we discuss possible kinetic explanations of intermittency and non-Gaussian statistics in wave turbulence.
