Journal ArticleDOI
Experimental measurement of large-scale three-dimensional structures in a turbulent boundary layer. Part 1. Vortex packets
TL;DR: In this article, experimental measurements of the 3D velocity field in a moderate Reynolds number zero pressure gradient boundary layer are presented to produce 3D correlations and conditional averaging techniques are used to further elucidate the underlying structure.
Journal ArticleDOI
On the limitations of Taylor's hypothesis in constructing long structures in a turbulent boundary layer
TL;DR: In this article, the authors compare Taylor's approximation with those obtained from particle image velocimetry (PIV), obtained in the logarithmic region of a turbulent boundary layer.
Journal ArticleDOI
Experimental measurement of large-scale three-dimensional structures in a turbulent boundary layer. Part 2. Long structures
TL;DR: In this article, three-dimensional (3D) measurements of a turbulent boundary layer have been made using high-speed particle image velocimetry (PIV) coupled with Taylor's hypothesis, with the objective of characterising the very long streamwise structures that have been observed previously.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Several novel morphological features in the nasal region of the hammerhead shark Sphyrna tudes are described, including a groove running anterior and parallel to the incurrent nostril, and the first simulation of internal flow within the olfactory chamber of a shark.
