Many new models of wave turbulence -- frozen, mesoscopic, laminated, decaying, sand-pile, etc. -- have been developed in the last decade aiming to solve problems seemingly not solvable in the framework of the existing wave turbulence theory (WTT). In this Letter we show that very often the reason of these discrepancies is that some necessary conditions of the WTT are not satisfied: initial energy distribution is not according to the assumptions of the theory; nonlinearity is not small enough; duration of an experiment is not sufficient to observe kinetic time scale; etc. Two alternative models are briefly presented which can be used to interpret experimental data, both giving predictions at the dynamical time scale: a) a dynamical energy cascade, for systems with narrow initial excitation and weak and moderate nonlinearity, and b) an effective evolution equation, for systems with distributed initial state and small nonlinearity.

In a recent paper we presented evidence for the occurence of Leray-like singularities with positive Sedov-Taylor exponent $alpha$ in turbulent flows recorded in Modanes wind tunnel, by looking at simultaneous acceleration and velocity records. Here w e use another tool which allows to get other informations on the dynamics of turbulent bursts. We compare the structure functions for velocity and acceleration in the same turbulent flows. This shows the possible contribution of other types of self-similar solutions because this new study shows that statistics is seemingly dominated by singularities with small positive or even negative values of the exponent $alpha$, that corresponds to weakly singular solutions with singular acceleration, and regular velocity. We present several reasons explaining that the exponent $alpha$ derived from the structure functions curves, may look to be negative.

Turbulence is defined as an eddy-like state of fluid motion where the inertial-vortex forces of the eddies are larger than any other forces that tend to damp the eddies out. By this definition, turbulence always cascades from small scales (where the vorticity is created) to larger scales (where other forces dominate and the turbulence fossilizes). Fossil turbulence is any perturbation in a hydrophysical field produced by turbulence that persists after the fluid is no longer turbulent at the scale of the perturbation. Fossil turbulence patterns and fossil turbulence waves preserve and propagate information about previous turbulence to larger and smaller length scales. Big bang fossil turbulence patterns are identified in anisotropies of temperature detected by space telescopes in the cosmic microwave background. Direct numerical simulations of stratified shear flows and wakes show that turbulence and fossil turbulence interactions are recognizable and persistent.

We report results of sumulation of wave turbulence. Both inverse and direct cascades are observed. The definition of mesoscopic turbulence is given. This is a regime when the number of modes in a system involved in turbulence is high enough to qualit atively simulate most of the processes but significantly smaller then the threshold which gives us quantitative agreement with the statistical description, such as kinetic equation. Such a regime takes place in numerical simulation, in essentially finite systems, etc.
A general Hamiltonian wave system with quartic resonances is considered, in the standard kinetic limit of a continuum of weakly interacting dispersive waves with random phases. The evolution equation for the multimode characteristic function $Z$ is o btained within an interaction representation and a perturbation expansion in the small nonlinearity parameter. A frequency renormalization is performed to remove linear terms that do not appear in the 3-wave case. Feynman-Wyld diagrams are used to average over phases, leading to a first order differential evolution equation for $Z$. A hierarchy of equations, analogous to the Boltzmann hierarchy for low density gases is derived, which preserves in time the property of random phases and amplitudes. This amounts to a general formalism for both the $N$-mode and the 1-mode PDF equations for 4-wave turbulent systems, suitable for numerical simulations and for investigating intermittency.
We study stationary solutions in the differential kinetic equation, which was introduced in for description of a local dual cascade wave turbulence. We give a full classification of single-cascade states in which there is a finite flux of only one co nserved quantity. Analysis of the steady-state spectrum is based on a phase-space analysis of orbits of the underlying dynamical system. The orbits of the dynamical system demonstrate the blow-up behaviour which corresponds to a sharp front where the spectrum vanishes at a finite wave number. The roles of the KZ and thermodynamic scaling as intermediate asymptotic, as well as of singular solutions, are discussed.
