The initial conditions were chosen similarly to those of the physical experiment described in the work of P. Tabeling (2002) for a regular configuration with 64 vortices. These were cast in an array of 8 × 8 Taylor–Green vortices in a bi-periodic domain with size L × L (the reference length L is set equal to 1). The maximum value of the velocity field in the initial configuration is U = 1. The Reynolds number was Re_l = lU/ν = 1250, with l = L/8 the vortex size. For details see: A. Di Mascio, M. Antuono, A.
