SURD for turbulent boundary layer calculations

Caption

The researchers used the SURD method to determine the causality of velocity motions in a turbulent boundary layer around a wall. This schematic shows the outer and inner-layer velocity motions and their interactions as well as two locations where velocity measurements were taken, one close to the wall and another higher up.
