Revisiting Batchelor’s theory of two-dimensional turbulence
Recent mathematical results have shown that a central assumption in the theory of two-dimensional turbulence proposed by Batchelor (Phys. Fluids, vol. 12, 1969, p. 233) is false. That theory, which predicts a χ2/3k−1 enstrophy spectrum in the inertial range of freely-decaying turbulence, and which has evidently been successful in describing certain aspects of numerical simulations at high Reyno...
متن کاملRemarks on the KLB theory of two-dimensional turbulence
We study the inverse energy transfer in forced two-dimensional (2D) Navier–Stokes turbulence in a doubly periodic domain. It is shown that an inverse energy cascade that carries a nonzero fraction of the injected energy to the large scales via a power-law energy spectrum ∝ k−α requires that α ≥ 5/3. This result is consistent with the classical theory of 2D turbulence that predicts a k−5/3 inver...
متن کاملTheory of vortex crystal formation in two-dimensional turbulence*
Experiments on pure electron plasmas have found that the decay of two-dimensional ~2D! turbulence can lead to spontaneous formation of ‘‘vortex crystals,’’ which are symmetric arrays of strong vortices within a background of weaker vorticity. This paper presents a theory of these novel equilibrium states of 2D turbulence. The paper consists of two parts. In the first part, we show that the vort...
متن کاملField theory of the inverse cascade in two-dimensional turbulence.
A two-dimensional fluid, stirred at high wave numbers and damped by both viscosity and linear friction, is modeled by a statistical field theory. The fluid's long-distance behavior is studied using renormalization-group (RG) methods, as begun by Forster, Nelson, and Stephen [Phys. Rev. A 16, 732 (1977)]. With friction, which dissipates energy at low wave numbers, one expects a stationary invers...
