A coherent structure is a spatially and temporally organized pattern within a turbulent flow that significantly influences the dynamics and transport properties of the fluid. These structures are crucial for understanding and predicting complex fluid behaviors in natural and engineered systems.

Spatially and temporally organized pattern

Turbulent flow is a type of fluid motion characterized by chaotic changes in pressure and flow velocity, often occurring at high velocities or with large obstacles. It contrasts with laminar flow, where fluid moves in parallel layers, and is crucial in fields such as aerodynamics and hydrodynamics for predicting fluid behavior and designing efficient systems.

Complex fluid behaviors

Natural systems are complex networks of biotic and abiotic components that interact in various cycles and processes, maintaining the balance and functioning of ecosystems. Understanding these systems is crucial for conservation efforts, sustainable resource management, and addressing environmental challenges such as climate change.
