This work investigates the spatio-temporal evolution of coherentstructures in the wake of a high-speed train. SPOD is used to extract energy spectra and empirical modes for both symmetric and antisymmetric components of the fluctuating flow…

Light's spatial degree of freedom is emerging as a potential resource for a myriad of applications, in both classical and quantum domains, including secure communication, sensing and imaging. However, it has been repeatedly shown that a…
