Statistics and dynamics of coherent structures on turbulent grid-flow

This thesis examines the statistics and dynamics of turbulent flow structures generated by towing a grid through a tank of water. The structures were made visible by recording the paths of aluminum tracers moving with the water surface. Flow patterns recorded using a time-exposure method were manual...
