place (red colour) is embedded in <strong>the</strong> typical low-speed regions close to <strong>the</strong> wall, and it should<br />

be noted that on top <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> low-speed region a vortex can be observed, as already mentioned<br />

at <strong>the</strong> end <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> previous section. It is evident that <strong>the</strong>se vortices pump low-speed fluid away<br />
