Abstract
In this Letter, the dynamics of spectral energy transfer in rotating homogeneous turbulence is investigated. It is shown that the wave number kΩ=(Ω3/ε)1/2 (defined by the rotation speed Ω and dissipation ε) determines the turbulence length scale, above which rotation effects on spectral transfer and on energy spectrum form are important. From the rotation-modified spectrum, turbulence decay laws are also inferred.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
