Abstract Research over the past 40 years indicates that coherent motions within the turbulent boundary layer account for disproportionate contributions to momentum transport (Robinson, 1991). To better understand these motions, low-Reynolds number turbulent boundary layer experiments were conducted to investigate the instantaneous velocity and vorticity fields associated with near-wall coherent motion interactions. The present study identifies and explores the most prevalent flow characteristics associated with the vertical transport of injected passive marker from the viscous sublayer.

Large Eddy Simulations (LES) has been widely applied and used in several decades to simulate a turbulent boundary layer in the numerical domain. In this study, we aimed to make a synthetic inflow generator (SIG) yielding an appropriate property of turbulent boundary layer in the inlet section and making quick development in the downstream of a three-dimensional domain. In order to achieve turbulent boundary layer quickly in a limited domain, the oscillating term was implemented in the well-defined boundary layer, which was expected to make faster convergence in the calculation. Cholesky decomposition was also applied to possess turbulent statistics such as the randomness and correlation of turbulent flow. In a result, the oscillating inflow did not show the faster convergence, but it indicated a possibility to improve statistical quantities in the downstream. In addition, regarding the mean flow characteristics were very close to the calculation without the oscillating flow. On the other hand, the turbulent statistics were improved depending on the oscillating magnitude.
