“…11 Here, we must emphasize that the present identification method is different from the former ones used by Willmarth and Lu, 8 Lu and Willmarth, 9 Lozano-Durán, Flores, and Jimenez, 11 and Narasimha et al 24 First of all, our threshold R c is a case-determined value which depends on the Reynolds number and the wall distance, and it is not a free parameter. 8,9,11,24 Secondly, the present threshold R c singles out only the Q2 and Q4 motions in each wall parallel plane and these singled-out motions directly contribute to the total Reynolds stress in an average sense, while the former ones might identify the Q1 and Q3 events as well, as the "hole" size is not so large. Thirdly, although we can connect all the regions in three dimensions as done by Lozano-Durán, Flores, and Jimenez 11 (see Figure 4(c) as an example), the resultant three-dimensional structures are not the same as those objects described by Lozano-Durán, Flores, and Jimenez.…”
