Palo Alto, CA: Annual Reviews (ISBN 978-0-8243-0748-6/hbk). Annual Review of Fluid Mechanics 48, 131-158 (2016). Summary: Quadrant analysis is a simple, but quite useful, turbulence data-processing technique that has been widely used, principally in the investigation of turbulent shear flows. This article traces the origins of the technique and reviews how it has been applied during the more than 40 years since it was conceived. Applications are highlighted that have expanded the technique beyond its original formulation.For the entire collection see [Zbl 1335.76004].
