Investigation of the Fluctuation Mechanism in Turbulent Flow

Abstract

This report consists primarily of two papers. The first -- Measurements of the coherent structure of boundary layer turbulence at a high subsonic speed -- describes in some detail the level of sophistication that has been achieved thus far in terms of instrumentation and data analysis for our investigation. The second paper -- Turbulent boundary layers (Experiments, theory, and modelling) -- summarizes the major results and conclusions which have been deduced from our measurements. This paper includes our first results from measurements of the coherent structure in the lateral direction.
