However, it is shown that decaying two-dimensional turbulence governed by the Harney-Hasegawa-Mima (CHM) equation ∂/∂t (V^2 φ-λ^2 φ)+J(φ,∇^2 φ)=D where D is a damping, is described well by Batchelor's similarity hypothesis for wave numbers k ≪ λ (the so-called AM regime). It is argued that CHM turbulence in the AM regime is a more `ideal' form of two-dimensional turbulence than is Navier-Stokes turbulence itself.
