摘要
Wavelet transform analysis offers a new approach to signal processing through its ability to decompose signals in both time and frequency. As such, it is more suited to nonstationary and intermittent signals than traditional Fourier analysis. The first part of this paper provides an introduction to the theory and signal processing properties of both continuous and discrete wavelet transform analysis. An account is then given of the application of wavelet transform analysis to a variety of experimental open channel wake flows. Feature location is undertaken using a continuous wavelet transform, and both turbulent statistical analysis and thresholding of the turbulent signal components are undertaken using a discrete wavelet transform.
