On the enstrophy flux vector in an inviscid barotropic fluid
We consider a 2D-inviscid barotropic fluid with zero divergence. The velocity is represented by the wind stream function. Implicit in the motion field is the enstrophy, transported by the wind like a time-dependent tracer. We split the corresponding flux vector into its rotational and divergent comp...
