Weak Wave Turbulence Scaling Theory for Diffusion and Relative Diffusion in Turbulent Surface Waves
We examine the applicability of the weak wave turbulence theory in explaining
experimental scaling results obtained for the diffusion and relative diffusion
of particles moving on turbulent surface waves. For capillary waves our
theoretical results are shown to be in good agreement with experimental
results, where a distinct crossover in diffusive behavior is observed at the
driving frequency. For gravity waves our results are discussed in the light of
ocean wave studies.Comment: 5 pages; for related work visit http://www.imedea.uib.es/~victo
