The role of helicity in Lagrangian turbulence is investigated using direct numerical simulation of homogeneous
isotropic turbulence. Probability density functions and autocorrelations along a fluid particle trajectory
associated with geometric quantities such as curvature and torsion of the Lagrangian trajectory
are provided. The relationship between helicity and the ratio of torsion to curvature is investigated.
We found that probability density functions of torsion and torsion normalized by curvature clearly show
well-established slope in log?log plots. Finally, the relationship between helicity, acceleration and geometric
quantities are discussed.
