摘要
The mechanisms of vorticity amplification in the formation of turbulence are investigated by means of direct numerical simulations of the Navier–Stokes equations with different initial conditions and Reynolds numbers. The simulations show good universality of the enstrophy evolution, that occurs in two stages. The first stage is dominated by the effect of vortex stretching, and it finishes with a k−3 power-law energy spectrum. The second stage is dominated by the action of viscosity on the small scales, and it finishes with a Kolmogorov k−5/3 energy spectrum.
