Measurements of turbulent quantities are presented for a low-Reynolds-number turbulent two-dimensional rotating channel flow. Turbulence intensities, Reynolds shear stress, correlation coefficient, skewness and flatness factors, four-quadrant classification and power spectra are considered. Contributions of production and Coriolis terms in Reynolds stress transport equations are estimated. Coriolis terms in the transport equations of normal Reynolds stress are very small in comparison with production term, even in the case where mean velocity profiles are influenced by the effect of the Coriolis force. However, the contribution of the Coriolis term is great in the transport of Reynolds shear stress.
