Spectral properties of helical turbulence. (English. Russian original) Zbl 1215.76038

Fluid Dyn. 44, No. 5, 658-666 (2009); translation from Izv. Ross. Akad. Nauk, Mekh. Zhidk. Gaza 2009, No. 5, 33-44 (2009).
Summary: The spectral properties of homogeneous stationary turbulence excited by a force that introduces considerable helicity, along with energy, into the flow are considered. It is shown that helicity is transferred on the inertial range as a passive admixture and its spectrum obeys the “ -5/3” law much more accurately than the velocity fluctuation spectrum. The helicity is dissipated on the same scales as the energy, though the helicity transfer dynamics on the inertial range are different on the large and small scales. Numerical experiments are performed on the basis of a cascade model developed for describing helical turbulence.
