Vorticity Equations
Vorticity Energy Equations
Mean Flow
where
= transport by turbulence velocity-vorticity interaction
= gradient production of fluctuating vorticity
= stretching of vorticity by mean shear flow
= stretching of turbulence vorticity by turbulence deformation rate = viscous transport (diffusion)
= dissipation of mean vorticity
