Abstract
In Part 1, we have presented the Reynolds-averaged turbulence characteristi cs of iso-thermal flow in a rectangular channel containing a cylindrical ro d such that it forms a narrow gap with a plane channel wall. Part 2 focuses on conditionally sampled measurements of the phase-averaged characteristic s of the coherent vortical structures that produce how pulsations across th e gap and formulates a tentative physical model of their typical shapes.
