Coherent vortex in a spatially restricted two-dimensional turbulent flow in absence of bottom friction.
Physics of Fluids. 2021. Vol. 33. No. 011704. P. 1-6.
We investigate the coherent vortex produced by two-dimensional turbulence excited in a finite box. We establish analytically the mean velocity
profile of the vortex for the case where the bottom friction is negligible and express its characteristics via the parameters of pumping. Our
theoretical predictions are verified and confirmed by direct numerical simulations in the framework of two-dimensional weakly compressible
hydrodynamics with zero boundary conditions.

The inverse cascade of two-dimensional turbulence in a restricted domain leads to creating a coherent flow containing a number of system-size vortices. We examine the case of forcing turbulence with zero bottom friction where the final statistically steady state is determined by viscosity. We analytically establish structure of the coherent vortices in the state. ...

We analyze velocity fluctuations inside coherent vortices generated as a result of the inverse cascade in the two-dimensional ($2d$) turbulence in a finite box. As we demonstrated in \citep{16KL}, the universal velocity profile, established in \citep{14LBFKL}, corresponds to the passive regime of the flow fluctuations. The property enables one to calculate correlation functions of the ...

An inverse turbulent cascade in a restricted two-dimensional periodic domain creates a condensate-a pair of coherent system-size vortices. We perform extensive numerical simulations of this system and carry out theoretical analysis based on momentum and energy exchanges between the turbulence and the vortices. We show that the vortices have a universal internal structure independent of ...

Two dimensional turbulence has the striking tendency to self-organize into large-scale, coherent structures due to the inverse energy cascade \cite{67Kra,68Lei,69Bat}. Here we theoretically examine the case of a static pumping where the exciting force is independent of time, the case corresponds to the experimental setup of the works . We establish dependence of the large-scale ...

Two-dimensional turbulence generated in a finite box produces large-scale coherent vortices coexisting with
small-scale fluctuations. We present a rigorous theory explaining the =1/4 scaling in the Vr− law of the
velocity spatial profile within a vortex, where r is the distance from the vortex center. This scaling, consistent
with earlier numerical and laboratory measurements, is universal in ...

A method of windowed spatiotemporal spectral filtering is proposed to segregate different nonlinear wave components and to calculate the surface of free waves. The dynamic kurtosis (i.e., produced by the free wave component) is shown able to contribute essentially to the abnormally large values of the surface displacement kurtosis, according to the direct numerical simulations of realistic sea ...

We consider fluctuations of magnetic field excited by external force and advected by isotropic turbulent flow. It appears that non-Gaussian velocity gradient statistics and finite region of pumping force provide the existence of stationary solution. The mean-square magnetic field is calculated for arbitrary velocity gradient statistics. An estimate for possible feedback of magnetic field on ...

We report a numerical study, supplemented by phenomenological explanations, of ‘‘energy condensation’’
in forced 2D turbulence in a biperiodic box. Condensation is a finite size effect which occurs after
the standard inverse cascade reaches the size of the system. It leads to the emergence of a coherent vortex
dipole. We show that the time growth of the dipole ...

It is well known that an inverse turbulent cascade in a finite ($2 \pi \times 2 \pi$) two-dimensional periodic domain leads to the emergence of a system-sized coherent vortex dipole. We report a numerical hyperviscous study of the spatial vorticity profile inside one of the vortices. The exciting force was shortly correlated in time, random ...

Statistical moments of magnetic field in a viscous range of turbulence are calculated for arbitrary initial conditions. It is shown that the evolution of magnetic field in the case of finite initial distribution in a linear velocity field consists of two or three consecutive regimes: exponential growth is followed by exponential decay.

The impact of turbulent advection in reaction-diffusion systems is investigated for the viscous range of scales. We show that the population size can increase exponentially even in systems with density saturation, at the expense of exponential propagation of the reaction front. Exact expressions for scaling exponents of the density and population size are calculated in ...

A condensate in two-dimensional turbulence confined to a finite domain was predicted by Kraichnan. The most common spatial form of the condensate is a coherent vortex of radius comparable with the domain size, which is statistically steady over times much longer than its turnover time. The vortices were successively studied during the last four decades, ...

We study the correlations of vorticity fluctuations inside a coherent vortex resulting from the inverse energy
cascade in two-dimensional turbulence. The presence of a coherent flow, which is a differential rotation, suppresses small-scale fluctuations of the flow, which are created by an external force, and lead to the fact that
these fluctuations can be considered as non-interacting ...

We investigate fluctuations of vorticity inside a coherent vortex generated by the inverse energy cascade in two-dimensional turbulence. Temporal and spatial correlations can be characterized by the pair correlation function. The interaction of fluctuations leads to a nonzero third moment of vorticity. We analyze the

Evolution of a stochastically homogeneous magnetic field advected by an incompressible turbulent flow with large magnetic Prandtl numbers is considered at scales smaller than the Kolmogorov viscous scale. It is shown that, despite the unlimited growth of the magnetic field, its feedback on the fluid's dynamics remains negligibly small. ...
