contents Classical shell models of turbulence do not display dual cascade - inverse of energy and direct of enstrophy - because they fail to reproduce the right thermal spectra. We propose here a multi-branch shell model, including a geometry hierarchically organized across scales, in order to overcome this limitation. For this model, we demonstrate numerically both the agreement of the thermal spectra with those of two-dimensional fluid equations and the emergence of a statistically stationary dual cascade. This construction also allows us to study local transfers and to investigate both self-similarity and non-Gaussianity.
