Popis: By taking advantage of laser Doppler velocimetry (LDV), we explore the existence of discrete wave cascades on fluid interfaces excited upon monochromatic excitation. We study viscous liquids of variable capillarity spanning a broad range of frictional stresses. The existence of an inertial regime of weak surface wave turbulence (weak-SWT) has been pointed out as a cascade of discrete modes with amplitudes compatible with universal Kolmogorov`s scaling. The transit from weak to strong surface turbulence has been explored with this tool revealing the importance of inertia over surface forces to describe the crossover.
