Time evolution of the total enstrophy Z
This experiment has been realised by Jori E. Ruppert-Felsot, Emilie Regul, Eran Sharon et Harry L. Swinney at the Center for Nonlinear Dynamics, University of Texas using a rotating water tank with a forcing at the bottom. the vorticity is measured using particle image velocimetry (PIV) at a resolution N=1282.

We split the total flow into coherent and incoherent flows using the CVS filtering method with the Coifman 12 wavelet.

This experiment has been performed by Kai Schneider, CMI, Université de Provence (Marseille), using a pseudo-spectral code integrating the two-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations without forcing. No-slip boundary conditions have been imposed in the cylindrical domain using volume penalisation.
The resolution is N=10242.
