    SELF-SIMILARITY OF VORTICITY DYNAMICS IN DECAYING TWO-DIMENSIONAL TURBULENCE

    A new similarity theory is proposed for decaying two-dimensional Navier–Stokes turbulence, including the viscous range, which encompasses all Reynolds numbers and various degrees of hyperviscosity. In the high...

    Self-Similarity of Decaying Two-Dimensional Turbulence governed by the Charney—Hasegawa—Mima Equation

    In decaying two-dimensional Navier—Stokes turbulence, Batchelor’s simi larity hypothesis fails due to the existence of coherent vortices. However, it has recently been shown that in decaying two-dimensional tu...

    Ripa’s Theorem and its Relatives

    In 1983, Pedro Ripa proved a stability theorem for parallel flows in rotating shallow-water dynamics which has since come to be known as Ripa’s theorem. It is singular for being the only known Arnol’d-type sta...
