摘要
We investigate phase-averaged equations describing the spectral evolution of dispersive water waves subject to weakly nonlinear quartet interactions. In contrast to Hasselmann%26apos;s kinetic equation, we include the effects of near-resonant quartet interaction, leading to spectral evolution on the %26apos;fast%26apos; O(epsilon(-2)) time scale, where epsilon is the wave steepness. Such a phase-averaged equation was proposed by Annenkov %26 Shrira (J. Fluid Mech., vol. 561, 2006 b, pp. 181-207). In this paper we rederive their equation taking some additional higher-order effects related to the Stokes correction of the frequencies into account. We also derive invariants of motion for the phase-averaged equation. A numerical solver for the phase-averaged equation is developed and successfully tested with respect to convergence and conservation of invariants. Numerical simulations of one-and two-dimensional spectral evolution are performed. It is shown that the phase-averaged equation describes the %26apos;fast%26apos; evolution of a spectrum on the O(epsilon(-2)) time scale well, in good agreement with Monte-Carlo simulations using the Zakharov equation and in qualitative agreement with known features of one- and two-dimensional spectral evolution. We suggest that the phase-averaged equation may be a suitable replacement for the kinetic equation during the initial part of the evolution of a wave field, and in situations where %26apos;fast%26apos; field evolution takes place.
