Effect of Blockage on Spanwise Correlation in a Circular Cylinder Wake
نویسنده
چکیده
A short series of experiments was conducted with the aim of assessing the possible effect of tunnel blockage on spanwise correlation lengths measured in the near-wake of a circular cylinder. The results indicate that increasing blockage acts to increase spanwise correlation. This finding has important implications for the conduct and reporting of both physical and numerical experiments on bluff-body wake flows.

Shear Layer Vortices and Longitudinal Vortices in the Near Wake of a Circular Cylinder
J. Soria Department of Mechanical Engineering, Monash University, Clayton, Australia • Results are presented on (1) the shear layer vortices developing in the free shear layers located between the separation point and the first shed Strouhal vortex of a circular cylinder and (2) the longitudinal vortices developing in the braid region of the Strouhal vortices in the wake. Evidence based on flow...
متن کاملExperimental investigation for wake of the circular cylinder by attaching different number of tripping wires
An experimental study is conducted on flow past a circular cylinder fitted with some tripping wires on its surface. The work investigates the dependency of the critical wire locations on the wire size and Reynolds numbers, and examines the wake and vortex shedding characteristics in an effort to advance the understanding of the critical wire effects beyond the existing literature. The primary a...
متن کاملEmitted Sound from Inclined Circular Cylinder and Three-Dimensional Flow Structure in Wake
In this study, the aerodynamic sound generated from the inclined circular cylinder was investigated experimentally and numerically. The generated sound and a coherent length of velocity fluctuation along the cylinder axis were measured by a low-noise wind tunnel with endplates. The sound and the flow in wake were also simulated by Large Eddy Simulation and Lighthill-Curle’s equation. We got the...
متن کاملBifurcation theory for three-dimensional flow in the wake of a circular cylinder
A bifurcation scenario is presented for three-dimensional vortex shedding in the wake of a circular cylinder for Reynolds numbers up to 300. Amplitude equations are proposed to describe the nonlinear interaction between two three-dimensional modes of shedding with different spanwise wave numbers and different spatiotemporal symmetries. The amplitude equations explain many features of the transi...
متن کاملOn the Inclusion of Three-dimensional Effects in Simulations of Two-dimensional Bluff-body Wake Flows
Unsteady flow past a circular cylinder at a Reynolds number of 300 has been simulated. The spanwise extent of the computational domain has been systematically varied from zero (2-D) to a large value of 12&, where 4 is the spanwise wavelength of the fundamental mode-B 3-D instability (Williamson, 1996). Simulations with intermediate spanwise extent of 4 and U, have also been performed so as to i...
