Effects of System Rotation on Turbulence Structure: A Review Relevant to Turbomachinery Flows

Turbomachine rotor flows may be affected by system rotation in various ways. Coriolis and centrifugal forces are responsible for (i) modification of the structure of turbulence in boundary layers and free shear layers, (ii) the generation of secondary flows, and (iii) “buoyancy” currents in cases wh...
