Abstract: | A method is presented which uses the intensity-based encoding of deflection of micropillars to detect criticical events in near-wall turbulence. The pillars are tailored to respond only to the streamwise or the spanwise component of the wall-shear stress with larger deflection. Light reflected from the side-walls of these structures is used to dected certain events in the flow that run along the wall. Examples are given for defined disturbances in a planar Couette flow.
