Transition to turbulence (76F06) Fundamentals of turbulence (76F02)

Abstract: The occurrence of system-scale coherent structures, so-called condensates, is a well-known phenomenon in two-dimensional turbulence. Here, the transition to condensate formation is investigated as a function of the magnitude of the force and for different types of forcing. Random forces with constant mean energy input lead to a supercritical transition, while forcing through a small-scale linear instability results in a subcritical transition with bistability and hysteresis. That is, the transition to condensate formation in two-dimensional turbulence is nonuniversal. For the supercritical case we quantify the effect of large-scale friction on the value of the critical exponent and the location of the critical point.
