Two-dimensional vortex motion and “negative temperatures”
Abstract
A recent numerical integration of the two-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations has tentatively identified an “ergodic boundary” in the space of initial conditions for the turbulent flow. An explanation is suggested in terms of negative temperatures, for a point vortex model.
