Inverarity et al. extended the model of Hevyaerts & Priest for turbulent coronal heating in a sheared arcade, again achieving the observed levels of heating but with improved mathematical consistency. A similar model for heating in a flux tube twisted by vortical photospheric motions is here developed. Two models for the turbulence are investigated: three-dimensional, helically isotropic turbulence and two-dimensional turbulence, isotropic in the plane perpendicular to the background field. It is found that the three-dimensional turbulence model can reproduce the observed levels of coronal heating. However, the purely two-dimensional model cannot be used when modelling steady-state heating.
