Three-dimensional strong Langmuir turbulence and wave collapse
Journal Article
·
· Phys. Rev. Lett.; (United States)
Results from the first fully three-dimensional simulations of driven damped strong Langmuir turbulence and wave collapse are presented. Key results are that turbulence is maintained at least in part by nucleation, the cores of most collapsing objects are pancake shaped in form, and the power spectrum falls off approximately as the product of a power law and an exponential at large wave number.
