(a) Phase-space of control parameters corresponding to the vortex-lattice state. The slope of 0.5 at the boundaries of the vortex-lattice state shows that the emergence of vortex lattice is controlled by two competing length scales: the channel height h and the activity length scale . (b) Transition from the vortex-lattice state to active turbulence is characterized by the channel-averaged enstrophy distribution for increasing values of activity number .
