Correlation between the enstrophy and the energy dissipation rate in a turbulent wake

All three components of tile vorticity fluctuation have been measured simultaneously in a turbulent wake using a new eight-sensor vorticity probe. The correlation between the enstrophy and the energy dissipation rate has been examined in some detail. The homogeneous value of epsilon is strongly correlated with omega(2). The full value oft anti, more especially its isotropic value, are less well correlated with tile enstrophy.
