Abstract

In turbulent fluid motion, a number of ordered or coherent structures can be detected, which may be classified according to their characteristic spatial scales. As is seen from Eq. (3.46), components of fluid motion with larger spatial scales possess longer time scales in general, and they have large influence on various flow aspects. In this sense, the component of turbulent motion that is abstracted through the ensemble averaging procedure often contain important global properties. In reality, the flow structure characterized by the mean velocity gradient governs the production mechanism of turbulent energy or the mechanism of draining energy from large- to small-scale components.
