Abstract
Two-dimensional, incompressible flows are discussed by a generalization of the line-vortex model. A large number of structures are randomly distributed initially. Each individual structure is convected by the superposed flow field of all the others. The statistical properties of the resulting space–time varying random flow are studied. Analytical expressions for both Eulerian and Lagrangian correlation functions are obtained for the limit where the density of structures is large. The analytical results compare favourably with numerical simulations. The study serves as a special test on proposed relations between Eulerian and Lagrangian averages which can be generally valid, i.e. also for three-dimensional, turbulent flows.
