Abstract
The chaotic nature of "caviton turbulence" is studied in one-dimensional, many-Fourier-mode numerical simulations of the driven dissipative Zakharov equations. Above the modulational instability threshold the system evolves into a variety of stable patterns of cavitons which become chaotic for stronger driving. The cavitons remain coherent for times long compared to the shortest Lyapunov time.Keywords
