Abstract

This paper is devoted to an heuristic discussion of the merging mechanism between two clusters of point vortices, supported by some numerical simulations. A concept of renormalized Onsager function is introduced, elaboration of the solutions of the mean field equation. It is used to understand the shape of the single cluster observed as a result of the merging process. Potential implications for the inverse cascade 2D turbulence are discussed.
