Abstract

This paper presents a new experimental time-domain technique for the evaluation of the large-scale structure in a turbulent flow. The technique is demonstrated by hot-wire anemometry for a circular jet flow at a moderate Reynolds number of 104, and the large-scale structure identified is compared successfully with smoke flow-visualization observations. The temporal and spatial relationships of the separate large-scale flow events have been derived, and this information enabled the evaluation of the nonlinear spatial development of the large-scale flow structure.
