Coherent structures in turbulence

Abstract

This account of the Colloquium on Coherent Structures in Turbulence held at Southampton from 26-29 March 1974 presents a brief summary of two invited lectures and 42 formal presentations on turbulent shear-flow structure. A number of shorter contributions and discussions are also outlined. The present position of the study of turbulent shear-flow structure is reviewed and some new experimental techniques are discussed.
