Popis: In homogeneous shear flow, turbulence exhibits anisotropic properties affecting all scales of motion at finite Reynolds numbers. Upon releasing the mean shear, the anisotropy characterizing the velocity field decays over a large eddy turnover time. The decay of the anisotropy of the vorticity field, however involves a range of time-scales, from the short (Kolmogorov) time scale, up to the large eddy turnover time.
