Thermodynamic description of the relaxation of two-dimensional turbulence using Tsallis statistics
Two-dimensional Euler turbulence and drift turbulence in a pure-electron plasma column have been experimentally observed to relax to metaequilibrium states that do not maximize the Boltzmann entropy, but rather seem to minimize enstrophy. We show that a recent generalization of thermodynamics and statistics due to Tsallis [Phys. Lett. A 195, …
