What is the physical mening for Enstrophy in the Fluid flow?
It basically describes how the fluid acts to dissapate energy in terms of kinetic energy. In a mechanical problem, this would be like how friction acts to slow down movement (velocity) because it dissapates energy. Carpet has a higher friction potential then something like a polished aluminum plate. ———— The enstrophy can be interpreted as another type of potential density (ie. see probability density); or, more concretely, the equantity directly related to the kinetic energy in the flow model that corresponds to dissipation effects in the fluid. It is particularly useful in the study of turbulent flows, and is often identified in the study of thrusters as well as the field of flame theory. Sources: http://en.wikipedia.
