Large-Scale Organized Motions in Jets and Shear Layers

  • Conference paper
Recent Advances in Aerodynamics

Abstract

Turbulence research has undergone a major change in recent years as a result of the discovery of large-scale organized motions, popularly called “coherent structures”. This discovery has brought about a reexamination and, in the opinion of many, even a redefinition of the fundamental concepts in turbulence. Also, this has rekindled hopes for significant advances in the understanding, and perhaps modeling, of turbulent shear flows. So profound is the impact of this discovery that virtually every turbulence researcher is pursuing coherent structures in one form or another. I will summarize some of the key questions in this topic and review a few recent results from our laboratory.
