High-resolution lattice-gas simulation of two-dimensional turbulence
Abstract
The mechanisms of two-dimensional turbulence are investigated by means of a very high-resolution lattice-gas simulation. The results from the simulation are quantitatively compared with the direct integration of the Navier-Stokes equation. The dissipation of the flow simulated by the lattice gas is estimated by a simple scaling argument on the microscopic noisy field of the automaton.
