Discussion on the utility of dynamical systems approach

Abstract

I have a rather provocative question to ask the speakers. What I am wondering is: When you apply the proper orthogonal decomposition - I know this is a procedure you use and it is probably standard - you remove the mean flow and you only look at the perturbations. Why do not you include the mean flow, because if you did you would suppress the cubic terms, and also you would be getting something that would be closer to what people call coherent structures, such as hairpin vortices.
