Effect of Separation Angle on Vortex Streets
Publication: Journal of the Engineering Mechanics Division
Volume 101, Issue 5
Abstract
Experiments were made at a constant Reynolds number of 1.5x104 based on model width to find how the vortex wake of a two-dimensional bluff body was affected by changing the shear layer separation angle. It was found that while each wake could be described using a universal Strouhal number previously defined in the literature, the wakes were not similar in the sense of having a common fixed spacing ratio.It is shown that this is a logical consequence of the stability criterion that is used both to derive the universal Strouhal numbers and to make predictions of the spacing ratios.
