Three-dimensional Vortex Structures in Bluff-body Wakes
註釋The primary objective of this study was the characterization of the three-dimensional longitudinal vortices found in the wake of a circular cylinder. Using Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) full instantaneous velocity fields were obtained in the transverse plane containing the cylinder. Footprints of the longitudinal vortices were identified, showing up as counter-rotating pairs. It appears that these vortices are embedded between, and locked to, the Karman vortices. From measured peak vorticity fields, it is clear that the longitudinal vortices are being stretched by the Karman vortices.
