3-D Perturbations in Conformal Turbulence
arXiv:hep-th/9508040 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevE.54.1550
Abstract
The effects of three-dimensional perturbations in two-dimensional turbulence are investigated, through a conformal field theory approach. We compute scaling exponents for the energy spectra of enstrophy and energy cascades, in a strong coupling limit, and compare them to the values found in recent experiments. The extension of unperturbed conformal turbulence to the present situation is performed by means of a simple physical picture in which the existence of small scale random forces is closely related to deviations of the exact two-dimensional fluid motion.
Discussion of intermittency improved. Figure included
