Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) has been applied to the Direct Numerical Simulation (DNS) data of turbulent channel flow. DWT splits the turbulent flow into two orthogonal parts, one corresponding to coherent structures and the other to incoherent background flow. The coherent structure is extracted from not vorticity field but velocity's since the channel flow is not isoropic. By comparing DWT's result of channel flow with that of isotropic flow, it is shown that coherent structure maintains the properties of original channel flow. The velocity field of coherent structures can be represented by few wavelet modes and that these modes are sufficient to reproduce the velocity probability density function (PDF) and the energy spectrum over the entire inertial range. The remaining incoherent background flow is homogeneous, has small amplitude, and is uncorrelated. These results are compared with those obtained for the same compression rate using large eddy simulation (LES) filtering. In contrast to the incoherent background flow of DWT, the LES subgrid scales have a much larger amplitude and are correlated, which makes their statistical modeling more difficult.

Magnetic properties of the isotropic and anisotropic NdFeB magnets obtained by the Current-Applied Pressure-Assisted (CAPA) process from a melt-spun NdFeB powder were investigated using B-H loop analyser. The coercivity of the isotropic magnets is sensitive to the applied pressure in the CA-pressing and increases with increasing the pressure. The remanence of the anisotropic magnet increases with increasing the degree of deformation, and it results in the increase of a maximum energy Product. The best magnetic Properies of the isotropic and anistropic magnet are B$\sub$r/= 8.7 kG, $\sub$i/H$\sub$c/= 16.9 kOe, (BH)$\sub$max/= 16.5 and B$\sub$r/= 13.6 kG, $\sub$i/H$\sub$c/= 10.9 kOe, (BH)$\sub$max/= 44.2 MGOe, respectively.
