Conformal invariance in three-dimensional rotating turbulence

We examine turbulent flows in the presence of solid-body rotation and helical forcing in the framework of stochastic Schramm-Löwner evolution (SLE) curves. The data stem from a run with 15363 grid points, with Reynolds and Rossby numbers of, respectively, 5100 and 0.06. We average the parallel compo...
