Rotating helical turbulence. I. Global evolution and spectral behavior

We present results from two 15363 direct numerical simulations of rotating turbulence where both energy and helicity are injected into the flow by an external forcing. The dual cascade of energy and helicity toward smaller scales observed in isotropic and homogeneous turbulence is broken in the pres...

Pouquet, A. 2010 We present results from two 15363 direct numerical simulations of rotating turbulence where both energy and helicity are injected into the flow by an external forcing. The dual cascade of energy and helicity toward smaller scales observed in isotropic and homogeneous turbulence is broken in the presence of rotation, with the development of an inverse cascade of energy now coexisting with direct cascades of energy and helicity. In the direct cascade range, the flux of helicity dominates over that of energy at low Rossby number. These cascades have several consequences for the statistics of the flow. The evolution of global quantities and of the energy and helicity spectra is studied, and comparisons with simulations at different Reynolds and Rossby numbers at lower resolution are done to identify scaling laws. © 2010 American Institute of Physics.
