摘要
Two-dimensional turbulence with a mean linear shear is numerically studied under periodic boundary conditions. Enstrophy is transferred to higher wavenumbers both through nonlinear interaction between turbulent fluctuations and mean linear shear. When the mean shear rate is sufficiently large, enstrophy is transferred exclusively by the latter mechanism and then the energy spectrum and the momentum flux spectrum show k-3-form. Coherent vortices grow when its vorticity has the same sign as that of the background shear.
