A critical-layer framework for turbulent pipe flow (2010, background): “…of the slow evolution of the smallscale turbulence relative to the convective time scale and is believed to hold using the local mean velocity as the convection velocity for all but (possibly) the longest length scales (Dennis & Nickels 2008) and very close to the wall (Morrison & Kronauer 1969).”
High–Reynolds Number Wall Turbulence (2011, methodology): “…of all scales [e.g., the combination of sonic anemometry and hot wires used by Kunkel & Marusic (2006) and Metzger et al.

Estimation of turbulent convection velocities and corrections to Taylor's approximation (2009, background): “Note that all the advection velocities converge approximately to U (y) above y/h ≈ 0.15, which agrees with the evidence in Dennis & Nickels (2008) that the spatial velocity field at that height can be reconstructed from temporal hot wire data.”
