Abstract
Using the point vortex flow on a disc as a prototype, we present a closure for incompressible ideal fluid flow in the form of a generalized thermostat device. The thermostat can model either an infinite or finite reservoir. The thermostat variable is stochastically forced. Numerical experiments are in excellent agreement with the two-scale simulations of Buhler (Phys. Fluids, 2002). We also check ergodicity numerically, and compute eddy diffusivity.
