The motion of floaters in the Faraday waves is three dimensional but its horizontal velocity fluctuations show unexpected similarity with two-dimensional turbulence. The inverse cascade is detected by measuring frequency spectra of the Lagrangian velocity, and it is confirmed by computing the third moment of the horizontal velocity fluctuations. This is observed in deep water in a broad range of wavelengths. The results broaden the scope of recent findings on Faraday waves in thin layers [A. von Kameke, \\textit{et al.}, \\textit{Phys. Rev. Lett.} \\textbf{107}, 074502 (2011)].", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2013-03-26T04:43:49.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "47.27.-i", "47.35.-i", "47.52.+j" ], "keywords": [ "inverse energy cascade", "large coherent vortices", "turbulence driven", "horizontal velocity fluctuations", "faraday wave driven turbulence" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Physical Review Letters", "year": 2013, "month": "May", "volume": 110, "number": 19, "pages": 194501 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 5, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2013PhRvL.110s4501F" } } }
