Energy budgets in Charney-Hasegawa-Mima and surface quasigeostrophic turbulence

Abstract:
We study energy transfer in unbounded Charney-Hasegawa-Mima and surface quasigeostrophic turbulence. The possible inverse-cascading quantities in these systems are, respectively, I identical with integral ( infinity )(0)k(-2)E(k) dk and J identical with integral ( infinity )(0)k(-1)E(k) dk, where E(k) is the kinetic energy spectrum. The supposed direct-cascading quantities for both surface quasigeostrophic and Navier-Stokes turbulence are shown to be bounded. We derive a constraint on E(k) for the surface quasigeostrophic system.

Consider a beaker filled with liquid. The bulk molecules in the liquid experience equal attractive forces on all sides with the surrounding molecules. However, the surface molecules experience a net attractive force downward due to the bulk molecules. The surface of the liquid behaves like a stretched membrane,...
