Eddy Structure Identification in Free Turbulent Shear Flows: Selected Papers from the IUTAM Symposium entitled: "Eddy Structures Identification in Free Turbulent Shear Flows" Poitiers, France, 12-14 October 1992

The existence and crucial role played by large-scale, organized motions in turbulent flows are now recognized by industrial, applied and fundamental researchers alike. It has become increasingly evident that coherent structures influence mixing, noise, vibration, heat transfer, drag, etc... The accelera­ tion of the development of both experimental and computational programs devoted to this topic has been evident at several recent international meet­ ings. One of the first questions which e...
