Coherent Structures in Turbulent Flows: Experimental Studies on the Turbulence of Multiphase Plumes and Tidal Vortices

This dissertation presents the turbulence of multiphase plumes and tidal vortices by studying and quantifying coherent structures that affect the dynamics of the flow. The measurements presented in this dissertation were taken using particle image velocimetry (PIV). After preprocessing the images an...
