The turbulent statistical properties are reported at three streamwise locations which correspond to the upstream/downstream and the centerline of the T-junction (x/D=±1 and 0, respectively). Turbulence intensity, skewness and flatness factor, as well as probability density functions, have been investigated at the range of Reτ=5400-8700. Furthermore, the multiscale properties of the flatness factor are analyzed by using orthogonal wavelet transform. It is found that the turbulent intensities remain a constant in the center region for three streamwise locations while they are weakened in the turbulent boundary layer at x/D=1 by effect of suction. The location of the strongest intermittency is located at y/h=0.56 for x/D=-1 and 0. While at downstream of T-junction (x/D=1), the location of the strongest intermittency shifts down to y/h=0.28. Also, the wavelet flatness factor is more clearly distinguished the intermittency of the small-scale turbulent structure compared with the conventional flatness factor and, the global flatness factor is proposed to assess the intermittent intensity of the turbulent structure. Key words: Probability density function, Velocity fluctuation, T-junction duct, Suction, Wavelet transform.
