Abstract
In this paper we are concerned with incompressible MHD turbulence in a rotating system and have derived an equation for the rate of change of vorticity covariance of MHD turbulent flow. The result derived shows that the defining scalars α(r,t), β(r,t), and γ(r,t) for the rate of change of vorticity covariance solely depend on the defining scalars of the tensorsW ij, Pik,j, Fkj,i, Tik,j, andR kj,ialready defined in the text.
