DNS of a Turbulent Channel Flow with Streamwise Rotation at Different Reynolds Numbers

In this work a turbulent channel flow rotating about the streamwise direction is presented. The theory is based on the investigations of [3] employing the symmetry group theory. It was found that a cross flow in the spanwise direction is induced. Statistical evaluations have shown that all six components of the Reynolds stress tensor are non-zero. A series of direct numerical simulations (DNS) has been conducted at rotation number Ro=20 for different Reynolds numbers. In this paper the results of the DNS are presented and discussed.
