In this study, multi-dimensional extensions of fast and adaptive empirical mode decomposition (FAEMD) are implemented on both three-component planar and volumetric velocity fields of a Mach 2.5 supersonic base flow which were obtained using particle image velocimetry.

Coherent streamwise-oriented structures of different scales were detected throughout the flowfield that indicate the presences of quasi-streamwise vortices. The presence of sharply angled structures, at about 45º to the local flow direction, suggests that both conventional- and counter-hairpin vortices are present within the flowfield, especially in the recompression zone and trailing wake. An autocorrelation analysis of the two-dimensional modes revealed the average size, orientation and shape of these different structures. The autocorrelation revealed that the largest flow structures reside in the shear layer due to the elongated nature of these structures in this region.
