      An analytical solution for rapidly distorted turbulent shear flow in a rotating frame 

      Akylas, Evaggelos; Kassinos, Stavros C.; Langer, A. C. (2006)
      In this study we apply rapid distortion theory to the case of nonstratified homogeneous turbulence that is sheared in a frame that counter-rotates at a rate that matches in magnitude the rotation associated with the mean ...

      Rapid shear of initially anisotropic turbulence in a rotating frame? 

      Akylas, Evaggelos; Kassinos, Stavros C.; Langer, C. A. (2007)
      In the present study, we investigate, using inviscid rapid distortion theory, the evolution of sheared turbulence in a rotating frame as a function of the rotation rate (including stable, transitional, and unstable regimes), ...

      Rapidly sheared homogeneous stratified turbulence in a rotating frame 

      Kassinos, Stavros C.; Akylas, Evaggelos; Langer, C. A. (2007)
      Rapid distortion theory is applied to stratified homogeneous turbulence that is sheared in a rotating frame. Insight into the stabilizing and destabilizing effects of the combined stratification and frame rotation is gained ...

      Structure anisotropy in MHD turbulence subjected to mean shear and frame rotation 

      Kassinos, Stavros C.; Wray, A. (Affiliation: Dept. of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, University of Cyprus, Nicosia, CyprusAffiliation: Department of Mechanical Engineering, Stanford University, Stanford, CA 94305, United StatesAffiliation: Center for Turbulence Research, NASA Ames Research Center, United StatesCorrespondence Address: Kassinos, S.C.Dept. of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, University of Cyprus, Nicosia, Cyprusemail: kassinos@ucy.ac.cy, 2005)
      We consider homogeneous turbulence in a conducting fluid that is exposed to a uniform external magnetic field while being sheared in fixed and rotating frames. We take both the frame-rotation axis and the applied magnetic ...
