Notes:
In helical turbulence a linear cascade of helicity accompanying the energy cascade has been suggested. Since energy and helicity have different dimensionality we suggest the existence of a characteristic inner scale, ξ=kH−1, for helicity dissipation in a regime of hydrodynamic fully developed turbulence and estimate it on dimensional grounds. This scale is always larger than the Kolmogorov scale, η=kE−1, and their ratio η/ξ vanishes in the high Reynolds number limit, so the flow will always be helicity free in the small scales. © 2001 American Institute of Physics.
