Abstract
Free turbulent flows are of practical importance and have therefore received extensive investigative attention which include various configurations and viewpoints. Generally for turbulent flows, it is difficult to detach pure fundamentals from applied research. For example, discovering the important role in momentum and heat transfer of coherent structures in turbulent flows, (Brown and Roshko (1974), Winant and Browand (1974)) was a significant step toward the understanding of basic mechanism of such flows. At the same time, manipulation of such coherent structures is a powerful and practical tool for the control of the entire flow field characteristics. The investigation of coherent structures in free turbulent flows is therefore of great fundamental and practical relevance. Three of the papers in this section deal with coherent structures in wake and round jets. The other two deal with experiments in heated mixing layer and numerical simulations.
