Ferro-Turbulence : a statistical mechanics framework for the large-scale structure of turbulent von Kármán flows

Abstract

In the present paper, recent experimental results on large scale coherent steady states observed in experimental von Kármán flows are revisited from a statistical mechanics perspective. The latter is rooted on two levels of description. We first argue that the coherent steady states may be described as the equilibrium states of well-chosen lattice models, that can be used to define global properties of von Kármán flows, such as their temperatures. The equilibrium description is then enlarged, in order to reinterpret a series of results about the stability of those steady states, their susceptibility to symmetry breaking, in the light of a deep analogy with the statistical theory of Ferromagnetism. We call this analogy ''Ferro-Turbulence''
