Abstract

The statistical properties of a rotating quasi-2D turbulent flow was studied. Velocity difference probability density functions (PDF) were non-Gaussian due to the presence of coherent vortices. Large differences from nonrotating quasi-2D flows were found. Results suggested that low Rossby number flows may exhibit statistics different from those of nonrotating 2D turbulence.
