Abstract

A new structure education method is proposed for representing the three dimensional large scale structures from hot wires measurement data. Due to the limited number of hot wire probes that can be used simultaneously, we firstly have to optimise the spatial location of sensors in order to detect large scale coherent structures. For such a purpose a detailed analysis of the 3D space-time flow organisation is given with particular emphasis on the full two point correlation tensor of the velocity field. Secondly, several procedures are developed in order to reconstruct instantaneous 3D velocity field on any finer and larger mesh than the experimental one from the limited available experimental information. The particular case of a spatially developing turbulent plane mixing layer is investigated. We then show that Stochastic Estimation and Proper Orthogonal Decomposition lead to a satisfactory reconstruction preserving the 3D coherent character of the flow. Finally, this reconstructed velocity field provides a 3D space-time representation of the large scale structures in a streamwise section of the flow and can then be used as realistic turbulent inflow condition for Large Eddy Simulations.
