Eulerian and Lagrangian statistics in fully developed rotating turbulent flows.

ORAL

Abstract

We present results concerning both Eulerian and Lagrangian statistics for turbulent under rotation at small and large Rossby numbers. Concerning the Eulerian statistics we discuss the effects of the presence of strong coherent large-scale vortical structures on the small-scale statistics. Concerning Lagrangian properties, we discuss the effects of preferential sampling at changing the inertial properties of the particles also due to the centrifugal and Coriolis forces.
