Effect of Helicity and Rotation on the Free Decay of Turbulent Flows

The self-similar decay of energy in a turbulent flow is studied in direct numerical simulations with and without rotation. Two initial conditions are considered: one nonhelical (mirror symmetric) and one with maximal helicity. While in the absence of rotation the energy in the helical and nonhelical...
