The flow feature of the jet issuing from the circular pipe with the rotating inclined section has been investigated by the method of the flow visualization and the image processing. It has been found that the jet diffusion is affected by the inclined angle and the rotating speed. The coherent structure of the jet has been also studied by using the wavelet multi-resolution analysis. The multi-scale turbulent structures were visualized and the core and edge of the vortex were identified at different broad scales.
