Abstract: The evolution of infragravity edgewaves in the nearshore provides an interesting wave turbulence problem with multimode dispersion. We develop several facts about the dynamics and kinetics of this system based on the structure of the resonance manifold. We find the Komogorov-Zakharov spectrum for the example of a simple cross shore depth profile. Time permitting, we will explore recent work on the nonlinear resonance and the dynamical turbulence of edge waves and related problems with multimode dispersion.
