Structure of coherent columnar vortices in three-dimensional rotating turbulent flow
I. V. Kolokolov, Leon L. Ogorodnikov, S. S. Vergeles
Abstract
The turbulence in a fast rotating fluid becomes effectively two-dimensional. The inverse energy cascade leads to formation of coherent columnar vortices. An analytical theory describing interaction of such a vortex with turbulent pulsations is developed. The radial velocity profile of the vortex is established.
