Coherent Structures, their Interactions, and their Effects on Passive Scalar Transport and Aero-Optic Distortion in a Turbulent Boundary Layer

<p>This thesis focused on the characterization of coherent structures and their interactions in a turbulent boundary layer using data from particle image velocimetry (PIV) measurements performed at Caltech and from a direct numerical simulation (DNS) of Wu et al. (2017). Connections were ident...
