Popis: We apply inviscid rapid distortion theory to the generalized case of turbulent hyperbolic flow in a rotating frame and investigate the dependence of the evolution of the turbulent kinetic energy on the frame rotation rate. We derive an analytical two-dimensional solution which allows for an accurate approximation of the three-dimensional initially isotropic problem. From the analytical solutions we determine a new generalized stability criterion for the evolution of the turbulent kinetic energy in this class of flows. © 2007 American Institute of Physics. 19
