Statistical mechanics of two-dimensional turbulence
A statistical mechanical description is proposed for two-dimensional inviscid fluid turbulence. Using this description, we make predictions for turbulent flow in a rapidly rotating laboratory annulus. Measurements on this system reveal coherent vortices in a mean zonal flow. The flow is anisotropic and inhomogeneous but has low dissipation and forcing. In statistical mechanics two crucial requi...
متن کاملStatistical mechanics of two dimensional vesicles
We have used a q-space method for calculating thermodynamic quantities of a twodimensional vesicle introduced by Ostrowsky and Peyraud. This method has been used to calculate the radius of gyration, the area, and the shape of vesicles as a function of perimeter length £ and Helfrich curvature parameter K. It is found, in agreement with the hypothesis of Fisher, that all thermodynamic quantities...
متن کاملStatistical Mechanics of Two-dimensional Foams
The methods of statistical mechanics are applied to two-dimensional foams under macroscopic agitation. A new variable the total cell curvature is introduced, which plays the role of energy in conventional statistical thermodynamics. The probability distribution of the number of sides for a cell of given area is derived. This expression allows to correlate the distribution of sides (“topological...
متن کاملNonextensive statistical mechanics for rotating quasi-two-dimensional turbulence
We have conducted experiments on an asymmetrically forced quasi-two-dimensional turbulent flow in a rapidly rotating annulus. Assuming conservation of potential enstrophy and energy, we maximize a nonextensive entropy function to obtain the azimuthally averaged vorticity as a function of radial position. The predicted vorticity profile is in good accord with the observations. A nonextensive for...
