Coherent structures in an energy-enstrophy theory for axisymmetric flows
The equilibrium statisticalmechanics of a version of an energy-enstrophy theory for the axisymmetric Euler equations is solved exactly in the sense that a configurational integral is calculated in closed form. Under the assumption that the energy and the enstrophy (mean squared azimuthal vorticity) are conserved, a long range version of Kac’s Spherical Model with logarithmic interaction is deri...
متن کاملOn Variational Principles for Coherent Vortex Structures
Different approaches are discussed of variational principles characterizing coherent vortex structures in two-dimensional flows. Turbulent flows seem to form ordered structures in the large scales of the motion and the self-organization principle predicts asymptotic states realizing an extremal value of the energy or a minimum of enstruphy. On the other hand the small scales take care of the in...
متن کاملIrreversibility of the two-dimensional enstrophy cascade.
We study the time irreversibility of the direct cascade in two-dimensional turbulence by looking at the time derivative of the square vorticity along Lagrangian trajectories, a quantity called metenstrophy. By means of extensive direct numerical simulations we measure the time irreversibility from the asymmetry of the probability density function of the metenstrophy and we find that it increase...
متن کاملIdentifying coherent structures and vortex clusters in Taylor-Couette turbulence
The nature of the underlying structures in Taylor-Couette (TC) flow, the flow between two co-axial and independently rotating cylinders is investigated by two methods. First, the quadrant analysis technique for identifying structures with intense radial-azimuthal stresses (also referred to as ‘Q’s) of Lozano-Durán et al., (J. Fluid Mech. 694, 100-130) is used to identify the main structures res...
متن کاملExperimental study of two-dimensional enstrophy cascade
– We study the direct enstrophy cascade in a two-dimensional flow generated in an electromagnetically driven thin layer of fluid. Due to the presence of bottom friction, the energy spectrum deviates from the classical Kraichnan prediction k. We find that the correction to the spectral slope depends on the thickness on the layer, in agreement with a theoretical prediction based on the analogy wi...
