Abstract

Abstract Elements of dynamics of rotational water waves are given in their connection with the problem of wave attenuation. Both classic results like the rotational Gerstner waves and recently found generalization of these waves–the Ptolemaic flows–are presented. Theory of wave turbulence starts with the Zakharov's equations for weakly nonlinear water waves. The Hasselmann (kinetic) equation as a basis of statistical description of wind‐generated water waves is introduced and its stationary solutions for direct and inverse cascade, the so‐called Kolmogorov–Zakharov ones, are presented. Recent results on self‐similarity of wind‐driven seas finalize the article.
