Interacting scales and triad enstrophy transfers in generalized two-dimensional turbulence.
The local and nonlocal characteristics of triad enstrophy transfer in the enstrophy inertial range of generalized two-dimensional turbulence, so-called alpha turbulence, are investigated using direct numerical simulations, with a special emphasis on alpha=1 , 2, and 3. The enstrophy transfer via nonlocal triad interactions dominates the transfer dynamics in the enstrophy inertial range, irrespe...
متن کاملEnstrophy dissipation in two-dimensional turbulence.
Insight into the problem of two-dimensional turbulence can be obtained by an analogy with a heat conduction network. It allows the identification of an entropy function associated with the enstrophy dissipation and that fluctuates around a positive (mean) value. While the corresponding enstrophy network is highly nonlocal, the direction of the enstrophy current follows from the Second Law of Th...
متن کاملUnified Scaling Theory for Local and Non-local Transfers in Generalized Two-dimensional Turbulence
The enstrophy inertial range of a family of two-dimensional turbulent flows, so-called -turbulence, is investigated theoretically and numerically. Introducing the large-scale correction into Kraichnan–Leith– Batchelor theory, we derive a unified form of the enstrophy spectrum for the local and non-local transfers in the enstrophy inertial range of -turbulence. An asymptotic scaling behavior of ...
متن کاملLagrangian chaos and the effect of drag on the enstrophy cascade in two-dimensional turbulence
We investigate the effect of drag force on the enstrophy cascade of two-dimensional Navier-Stokes turbulence. We find a power law decrease of the energy wave number (k) spectrum that is faster than the classical (no-drag) prediction of k(-3). It is shown that the enstrophy cascade with drag can be analyzed by making use of a previous theory for finite lifetime passive scalars advected by a Lagr...
متن کاملConstraints on the spectral distribution of energy and enstrophy dissipation in forced two-dimensional turbulence
We study two-dimensional turbulence in a doubly periodic domain driven by a monoscale-like forcing and damped by various dissipation mechanisms of the form νμ(−∆) μ. By “monoscale-like” we mean that the forcing is applied over a finite range of wavenumbers kmin ≤ k ≤ kmax, and that the ratio of enstrophy injection η ≥ 0 to energy injection ε ≥ 0 is bounded by k minε ≤ η ≤ k 2 maxε. Such a forci...
