Nonlinear Energy Transfer in Gravity-Capillary Wave Spectra.
Abstract
The energy flux in gravity-capillary wave spectra has been obtained using Hasselmann (1962) perturbation analysis for a homogeneous Gaussian sea. Viscous dissipation has not been included in order to simplify the analysis. As expected the exchange of energy is a second order effect, energy is transferred from two active wave components to a third passive component. The energy transfer satisfies the requirements of conservation of energy and conservation of momentum. (Author)
