Abstract
The present analysis shows that the EVM can not reflect the turbulence physics in non-inertial frame. The effects of Coriolis force on turbu lence is embodied naturally in the Reynolds-stress transport equation. It is observed that the existing second-moment closure model with app ropriate near-wall treatment can adequately predict flows in rotating channel and in axially rotating pipe for moderate rotation rate.
