The velocity fluctuations for point vortex models are studied for the {\alpha}-turbulence equations, which are characterized by a fractional Laplacian relation between active scalar and the streamfunction. In particular, we focus on the…

We investigate enstrophy variations by collapse of point vortices in an inviscid flow and, in particular, focus on the enstrophy dissipation that is a significant property characterizing 2D turbulent flows. Point vortex is an ideal vortex…

The venerable 2D point-vortex model plays an important role as a simplified version of many disparate physical systems, including superfluids, Bose-Einstein condensates, certain plasma configurations, and inviscid turbulence. This system is…

We show that the fluctuations of the partial current in two dimensional diffusive systems are dominated by vortices leading to a different scaling from the one predicted by the hydrodynamic large deviation theory. This is supported by exact…
