Two-dimensional turbulence

  "id": "MLC-T-MET-009858",
  "term": "Two-dimensional turbulence",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "A type of turbulent flow where fluid motion is confined to a plane, meaning there are no velocity components perpendicular to that plane. Unlike three-dimensional turbulence, two-dimensional turbulence exhibits an inverse energy cascade, where energy flows from smaller to larger scales. This concept is relevant for understanding large-scale atmospheric and oceanic flows.",
