| contents | Statistical tools are crucial for studying and modeling turbulent flows, where chaotic velocity fluctuations span a wide range of spatial and temporal scales. Advances in image velocimetry, especially in tracking-based methods, now allow for high-speed, high-density particle image processing, enabling the collection of detailed 3D flow fields. This lecture provides a set of tutorials on processing such datasets to extract essential quantities like averages, second-order moments (turbulent stresses) and coherent patterns using modal decompositions such as the Proper Orthogonal Decomposition (POD). After a brief review of the fundamentals of statistical and modal analysis, the lecture delves into the challenges of processing scattered data from tracking velocimetry, comparing it to traditional gridded-data approaches. It also covers research topics, including physics-based Radial Basis Function (RBF) regression for meshless computation of turbulent statistics and the definition of an RBF inner product, which enables meshless computation of data-driven decompositions. These include traditional methods like Proper Orthogonal Decomposition (POD) and Dynamic Mode Decomposition (DMD), as well as advanced variants such as Spectral POD (SPOD) and Multiscale POD (mPOD). We refer to this approach as the "Meshless Data-Driven Decomposition" framework. All codes are available at https://github.com/mendezVKI/PIV_LS_2024_Signal |
