Abstract
We define, for wave turbulence, probability density functions (pdfs) on a suitably chosen phase space. We derive the Liouville equation for their evolution and identify their long time behaviours corresponding to equipartition and finite flux Kolmogorov-Zakharov (KZ) spectra. We demonstrate that, even in nonisolated systems, entropy production (d/dt)∫ρln ρdV is well defined and plays an important role in the system's evolution and we find its representation in the wave turbulence approximation.
