IUTAM Symposium on Simulation and Identification of Organized Structures in Flows

The dynamics of transitional and turbulent flows is often dominated by organized structures with a life-time much longer than a characteristic time­ scale of the surrounding small-scale turbulence. Organized structures may appear as secondary flows as a result of an instability but they persist in turbulent flows. They manifest themselves as eddies or localized vortices and play an important role ...
