Abstract

We determine the asymptotic behavior of the coupling coefficient for four-wave interactions of gravity waves in deep water in the limiting case when two wave vectors of interacting waves are small with respect to the other two (“long–short interactions”). It makes possible to find numerically dimensionless Kolmogorov constants for the power-law Kolmogorov–Zakharov spectra. The results obtained are crucially important for comparison of the weak turbulent theory with the experiments and natural observations.
