Helicity is the scalar product between velocity and vorticity and, just like energy, its integral is an in-viscid invariant of the three-dimensional incompressible Navier-Stokes equations. However, space-and time-discretization methods…
Three-dimensional (3D) turbulence has both energy and helicity as inviscid constants of motion. In contrast to two-dimensional (2D) turbulence, where a second inviscid invariant--the enstrophy--blocks the energy cascade to small scales, in…
