Eyink's enstrophy-defect conjecture for two-dimensional Euler flows
Eyink's enstrophy-defect conjecture for two-dimensional Euler flows
Let be a weak solution of the incompressible two-dimensional Euler equations obtained by the vanishing-viscosity method, with
Assume that there exists a sequence of solutions of the incompressible Navier–Stokes equations such that
Eyink's conjecture. Both limits
exist and are equal, so that . Furthermore, is a dissipative solution, and there exists such an with .
The conjecture expresses the expectation that the transport enstrophy defect accounts for the residual viscous enstrophy dissipation in the vanishing-viscosity limit for two-dimensional turbulence. The paper states that one of its main results gives an example showing that this equality of defects is not necessarily true, so the proposed claim is refuted.
