Selective decay and coherent vortices in two-dimensional incompressible turbulence (original) (raw)

1991, Physical Review Letters

AI-generated Abstract

The study investigates the phenomenon of selective decay in two-dimensional incompressible turbulence, emphasizing the role of coherent vortices. It presents a theoretical framework alongside numerical simulations to analyze the decay properties of turbulent flows, revealing how coherent structures compete with background turbulence. By examining energy distribution and spectral characteristics, the research elucidates the mechanisms that lead to selective decay and connects these findings to practical implications in fluid dynamics.
