Abstract

We propose a new parametrization of 2D turbulence based on generalized thermodynamics and Brownian theory. Explicit relaxation equations are obtained that should be easily implementable in numerical simulations for three typical types of turbulent flows. Our parametrization is related to previous ones but it removes their defects and offers attractive new perspectives.
