The organized motion in a turbulent boundary layer
Abstract
Recent experimental results on coherent structures in a turbulent boundary layer at laboratory Reynolds numbers are briefly reviewed. Suggestions for a possible dynamic link between the structures in the outer and wall regions are also briefly reviewed. Quantitative agreement between signatures of coherent structures obtained using different detection criteria needs to be improved before the contributions of these structures to the average momentum or heat flux can be trusted.
