<strong>the</strong> negative sign <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> correlation, indicated by <strong>the</strong> dashed lines, that <strong>the</strong> ejection and sweeps<br />

In addition it can be estimated from <strong>the</strong> location <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> maximum in <strong>the</strong> upper left graph that<br />

<strong>the</strong> low momentum region appears as a shear layer in -direction while <strong>the</strong> strong positive side<br />

peaks in <strong>the</strong> same figure indicate that <strong>the</strong> out<strong>flow</strong> <strong>of</strong> low-momentum fluid is associated with a<br />

secondary motion. <strong>The</strong> centre row <strong>of</strong> figure 6.14 reveals <strong>the</strong> same functions but measured at<br />
