Inverse cascade via Burgers equation

Abstract:
Burgers equation is employed as a pedagogical device for analytically demonstrating the emergence of a form of inverse cascade to the lowest wavenumber in a flow. The transition from highly nonlinear mode-mode coupling to an ordered preference for large scale structure is shown, both analytically (revealing the presence of a global attractor) and via a numerical example.
