Vorticity statistics in the two-dimensional enstrophy cascade
We report the first extensive experimental observation of the two-dimensional
enstrophy cascade, along with the determination of the high order vorticity
statistics. The energy spectra we obtain are remarkably close to the Kraichnan
Batchelor expectation. The distributions of the vorticity increments, in the
inertial range, deviate only little from gaussianity and the corresponding
structure functions exponents are indistinguishable from zero. It is thus shown
that there is no sizeable small scale intermittency in the enstrophy cascade,
in agreement with recent theoretical analyses.Comment: 5 pages, 7 Figure
