Fig. 2.4 Cartesian and cylindrical coordinate systems and the decomposition of the<br />

measured instantaneous velocity into its components in these coordinate systems.<br />

The velocity components along the Cartesian and the cylindrical coordinate systems are<br />

interchangeable by using transformation functional expression as follows:<br />

where ˆ<br />

u r, ˆ<br />

u � , and ˆ<br />

w are the radial, angular, and vertical velocity components,<br />

respectively, along the cylindrical coordinate system, (r,�,z), whose origin is defined at<br />

the center of the cylinder.<br />

Time-averaged and fluctuating velocity components<br />

Obtaining the instantaneous velocity data over the measurement period, the statistical<br />

parameters can be found. Three quantities are computed, i.e. the mean (the time-averaged<br />

velocities), the variance (the squared values of the turbulent intensities), and the<br />

covariance (the Reynolds stresses).
