Statistical mechanics of the shallow water system

Fluid Dynamics 2009-11-06 v1

Abstract

We extend the formalism of the statistical theory developed for the 2D Euler equation to the case of shallow water system. Relaxation equations towards the maximum entropy state are proposed, which provide a parametrization of sub-grid scale eddies in 2D compressible turbulence.
