Theoretical and experimental investigation of coherent structure in the turbulent boundary layer

The experimental video flow visualization and a series of theoretical models based upon the three dimensional details of convected, coherent structural elements of a turbulent flow as it interacts with a solid surface were investigated. The following topics are discussed: coherence, three dimensional flow, mathematical models, numerical analysis, pressure gradients, interactions, walls, vortices, Reynolds number, predictions, numerical methods and procedures, flow visualization, flow fields.
