A STUDY OF STRATIFIED ROTATING EFFECTS ON HOMOGENEOUS TURBULENCE
A numerical investigation is performed in order to study the changes induced by the rotation and stratification effects on the behaviour of homogeneous incompressible turbulence. The dimensionless numbers relevant to this turbulence are the Froude, Rossby and Froude/Rossby. The computations cover B numbers ranging from 0.1 to infinity with constant Prandtl number, equal to unity. Spectrum quantity is explained to determine reasons for the changes on the turbulence as the B number is increased. The results obtained using the developed numerical model are in acceptable agreement with those performed by Cambon et al. [3].
