The results indicate that, while suction increases the anisotropy of the layer, the degree of the anisotropy is altered at the present of the roughness strip. The combination of suction and roughness strip modified the scale of the near-wall structures as reflected in the change in the streamwise and wall-normal integral length scales. %8 2011-05-04
