Abstract
The frequency of occurrence of the bursting process near a wall is studied by examining turbulent velocity fields obtained from numerical simulations of a flat‐plate boundary layer at three different Reynolds numbers. It is found that the frequency scaled by the inner variables is essentially independent of the Reynolds number.Keywords
