Discreteness and resolution effects in rapidly rotating turbulence

Rotating turbulence is characterized by the nondimensional Rossby number Ro, which is a measure of the strength of the Coriolis term relative to that of the nonlinear term. For rapid rotation (Ro→0), nonlinear interactions between inertial waves are weak, and the theoretical approaches used for othe...
