The characterization of the turbulence structure using statistical analysis 1 and a geometric packet-finding algorithm 2 is explored. We follow structures which have been identified by the geometric packet-finding algorithm, using automated object segmentation and feature tracking software, 3, 4 and observe how these structures and their associated wall signatures evolve in time. Using a direct numerical simulation database, we begin to assess the turbulence structure given by each method and the evolution of this structure.
