7 Investigation <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> yz-plane<br />

in stream-wise direction according to section 5.3.2 it is evident that <strong>the</strong> maximum ªSÔÔ <strong>of</strong> decreases<br />

quite rapidly with increasing temporal delay and vanishes already ×rìË»\¬ <strong>for</strong> at<br />

c while <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r correlations still show a significant correlation which is above<br />

ª«§N¬ö®c¯<br />

0.6 ªS·· <strong>for</strong> and around 0.4 in case ªSÙ&Ù <strong>of</strong> . Ano<strong>the</strong>r interesting effect becomes visible when<br />

<strong>the</strong> correlation functions in <strong>the</strong> near-wall region are considered. It can be seen that ªSÔÔ <strong>the</strong><br />

ªSÙ&Ù and correlations decrease quite rapidly with respect ªS·· to and relative to <strong>the</strong> decrease<br />

<strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> correlation function at larger wall locations <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> fixed point. This implies that structural<br />

changes within <strong>the</strong> near-wall region are quite large. When <strong>the</strong> width <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> correlation<br />

and <strong>the</strong> curvature around <strong>the</strong> maximum are considered, <strong>the</strong> total size decreases only very little<br />

with increasing temporal separation but <strong>the</strong> curvature <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> maximum becomes weaker. This<br />

indicates <strong>the</strong> dissipation <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> small-scales due to action <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> viscosity. <strong>The</strong> large-scales, on<br />

<strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r hand, are only weakly affected within <strong>the</strong> same time. This implies that <strong>the</strong> <strong>structures</strong><br />

which become visible <strong>for</strong> large time separations can be considered as a low-pass representation<br />

<strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> dominant velocity <strong>structures</strong>. This point will be discussed in <strong>the</strong> next section.<br />
