Turbulence is defined as an eddy-like state of fluid motion where the inertial-vortex forces of the eddies are larger than any of the other forces that tend to damp the eddies out. Energy cascades of irrotational flows from large scales to…
We investigate non-equilibrium turbulence where the non-dimensionalised dissipation coefficient $C_{\varepsilon}$ scales as $C_{\varepsilon} \sim Re_{M}^{m}/Re_{\ell}^{n}$ with $m\approx 1 \approx n$ ($Re_M$ and $Re_{\ell}$ are global/inlet…
