Using Direct Numerical Simulation (DNS) database we performed a statistical analysis of the characteristics of coherent structures in a turbulent circular pipe jet for Reynolds number Re = 5940 at a distance up to 40 pipe diameters from an inlet. It was shown that the optimal basic functions of the Proper Orthogonal Decomposition of velocity fields have the form of spiral perturbations and correspond to the coherent vortex structures present from the near to far field of the jet. The first two mirror-symmetric POD modes containing about 5 % of the total turbulent kinetic energy describe the spatial structure and dynamics of large-scale velocity fluctuations of the first azimuthal mode m = 1 in the mixing layer of turbulent jet.
