Effective Dissipation and Turbulence in Spectrally Truncated Euler Flows
Abstract
A new transient regime in the relaxation towards absolute equilibrium of the conservative and time-reversible 3-D Euler equation with high-wavenumber spectral truncation is characterized. Large-scale dissipative effects, caused by the thermalized modes that spontaneously appear between a transition wavenumber and the maximum wavenumber, are calculated using fluctuation dissipation relations. The large-scale dynamics is found to be similar to that of high-Reynolds number Navier-Stokes equations and thus to obey (at least approximately) Kolmogorov scaling.
