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

Linear analysis of generalized turbulent hyperbolic flow in a rotating frame
(2007)We apply inviscid rapid distortion theory to the generalized case of turbulent hyperbolic flow in a rotating frame and investigate the dependence of the evolution of the turbulent kinetic energy on the frame rotation rate. ...

Rapid shear of initially anisotropic turbulence in a rotating frame?
(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), ...

A simplified structure-based model using standard turbulence scale equations: computation of rotating wall-bounded flows
(2006)Two linear eddy-viscosity models, the v2-f and k-ω models, have been combined with an algebraic structure-based algorithm for the evaluation of the Reynolds stresses. This closure was originally designed as an integral ...

The transport of a passive scalar in magnetohydrodynamic turbulence subjected to mean shear and frame rotation
(2007)We consider the transport of a passive scalar under the influence of homogeneous turbulence in a conducting fluid that is exposed to a uniform external magnetic field while being sheared in fixed and rotating frames. The ...
