Abstract

Two-dimensional turbulence admits two different ranges of scales: a direct enstrophy cascade from the injection scale to the small scales and an inverse energy cascade at large scales. It has already been shown in previous papers that vortical structures are responsible for the transfers of energy upscale while filamentary structures are responsible for the forward transfer of the enstrophy. Here we propose an original mathematical tool, the interaction function, for studying the space localization of the enstrophy fluxes. It is defined using an orthogonal two-dimensional wavelet decomposition.
