Abstract
Turbulence statistics of rotating channel flow are considered, including budget data for the individual non-zero components of the Reynolds stress tensor. The statistics have been compiled from direct numerical simulations of Kristoffersen and Andersson (1993) at six different rotation numbers Ro m = 2h\Ω\/U m in the range from 0.01 to 0.50. Complete Reynolds stress budgets are provided for the particular cases Ro m = 0.15 and Ro m = 0.50, while the variation with Ro m of some important flow characteristics demonstrates the significant alterations in the flow field induced by the Coriolis force
