Oberlack showed that there is a new turbulent scaling law related to theturbulent channel ”ow rotating about the mean ”ow direction. The induction ofa cross ”ow in the spanwise direction is the most obvious difference compared tothe classical case, rotation about the spanwise direction.Established on these results the new scaling law was derived using Lie group analysis of the two-point correlation equations. Further it was shown that all sixcomponents of the Reynolds stress tensor are nonzero.ToverifytheseeffectsaDirectNumericalSimulationwasperformed. Theinenceof the rotation was studied at three different Reynolds numbers (Re = 180, 270τand 560) and at a variety of different rotation rates.
