Abstract
A numerical model for direct simulation of the surface of ideal fluid based on the expansion of the Hamiltonian of the surface up to terms o f fourth order is developed. For the case of capillary wave we observe the formation of powerlike spectrum of spatial elevations close to on e predicted by weak-turbulent theory I-k similar or equal to k(-19/4), which previously was not confirmed either experimentally or numerical ly.
