The helical nature of unforced turbulent flows.

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

Results of direct numerical simulations of the decay of nearly isotropic turbulence exhibit clearly that much of the flow evolves in orientation to a state in which the vorticity vector is nearly alined with the velocity vector.
