Abstract
A generalized eddy viscosity model that is formulated using the rotation modified energy spectrum is applied for the prediction of rotating flows. The model directly incorporates rotation and mean shear effects and is not limited by the use of local equilibrium hypothesis. The model is shown to reproduce the dominant effects of rotation on turbulence in rotating homogeneous shear flows and turbulent channel flows subject to spanwise rotation. The general applicability of the model and its implications are also addressed.
