Abstract
A wavelet-based method to extract coherent vortices is applied to data obtained by direct numerical simulations of three-dimensional incompressible homogeneous isotropic turbulence for different Taylor microscale Reynolds numbers, ranging from Rλ = 167 to 732. We find that the coherent vortices well preserve statistics of the total flow. The incoherent flow is structureless and noise like. The percentage of wavelet coefficients representing the coherent vortices decreases as the Reynolds number increases.
