The extent to which statistical equilibrium theory is applicable to driven dissipative dynamics remains an important open question in many systems. We use extensive direct numerical simulations of the incompressible two-dimensional (2D)…
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 $\nu_{\mu}(-\Delta)^{\mu}$. By ``monoscale-like'' we mean that the forcing is…
Generalised two-dimensional (2D) fluid dynamics is characterised by a relationship between a scalar field $q$, called generalised vorticity, and the stream function $\psi$, namely $q = (-\nabla^2)^\frac{\alpha}{2} \psi$. We study the…
