Multiparticle Lagrangian statistics in homogeneous rotating turbulence

JI Polanco, S Arun, A Naso - Physical Review Fluids, 2023 - APS
Geophysical flows are often turbulent and subject to rotation. This rotation modifies the
structure of turbulence and is thereby expected to sensibly affect its Lagrangian properties …
