| Description | Several long-standing issues regarding linear estimation and coherent structures are addressed, and some questions that were addressed partially, but never with the benefit of full, three-dimensional information are answered. The objectives were to: determine how well linear estimates approximate the field obtained by true conditional averaging, using events such as those in quadrant analysis; determine the extent to which the three-dimensional linearly estimated fields correspond to coherent structures, and the degree and manner in which they differ; evaluate the type and nature of the structural information gained by employing several different types of events; and learn more about the 3-D structure of important coherent motions that occur in wall turbulence. The results indicate that linear stochastic estimation can be used effectively in the study of numerical data bases consisting of three-dimensional vector fields, both velocity and vorticity. Two-point stochastic estimation yields more structural information and more detail than single-point estimation. The structures observed occurred repeatedly within the flow, but much can not be said about their dominance or the probability of their occurrence without further systematic studies of their frequency. |
