Energy and structure of inertial range turbulence deduced from an evolution of fluid impulse. (2002)
Journal Article
Summers, D. M., & Summers, D. (2002). Energy and structure of inertial range turbulence deduced from an evolution of fluid impulse. Physical review. E, Statistical physics, plasmas, fluids, and related interdisciplinary topics, 65(3), 0363141-0363149. htt

We explore numerically a very simple idea that may provide a material explanation for inertial range turbulence. We base a Lagrangian model of viscous incompressible fluid flow on an evolving ensemble of vortex doublet sheets. Initially these are ran...
