Revisiting the SABRA Model: Statics and Dynamics

Abstract

We revisit the two-dimensional SABRA model, in the light of recent results of Frisch {\it et al.} [Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 108}, 074501 (2012)] and examine, systematically, the interplay between equilibrium states and cascade (turbulent) solutions, characterised by a single parameter $b$, via equal-time and time-dependent structure functions. We calculate the static and dynamic exponents across the equipartition as well as turbulent regimes which are consistent with earlier studies. Our results indicate the absence of a sharp transition from equipartition to turbulent states. Indeed, we find that the SABRA model mimics true two-dimensional turbulence only asymptotically as $b\to -2$.
