Quasilinear theory of the 2D Euler equation

Abstract

We develop a quasilinear theory of the 2D Euler equation and derive an integro-differential equation for the evolution of the coarse-grained vorticity. This equation respects all the invariance properties of the Euler equation and conserves angular momentum in a circular domain and linear impulse in a channel. We show under which hypothesis we can derive a H-theorem for the Fermi-Dirac entropy and make the connection with statistical theories of 2D turbulence.
