Abstract

The elementary structures of turbulence, i.e., vortex tubes, are studied from laboratory experiments at Reynolds numbers Reλ = 332-1934. We find features of tube radius, circulation velocity, and spatial distribution that are independent of the Reynolds number Reλ and of the configuration for turbulence production and are hence expected to be universal.
