How to explain energy cascade mechanisms? Why eddy breakups take place?

Welcome to PF.

Can you post some links to the reading you have been doing about this? That will get you a lot better responses than just asking very broad questions without many explicity definitions and questions. Thanks.

hello again
Simply I studied about Turbulent flow and the Richardson energy cascade theoretically, but from the view point of physics i don't know how and why large eddy transfers energy to the smaller one?
thanks

hello

i have some questions about energy cascade in turbulent flow. I know that large eddies transfer energy to smaller one and ..., my first question is why large scales should breakup?
second : how these eddies transfer energy and what is the eddy breakup mechanism ?
and finally: we have kinetic energy in both bulk and molecular scale, what is the difference between these two kinetic energy (macro and micro)?
thanks a lot

Think about shear forces and angular momentum, and size. Is it easier to turn (roll) a large object or smaller object?
