Evolution of a vortex street in the far wake of a cylinder

The evolution of a primary vortex street shed from a circular cylinder in the far wake is experimentally examined for 70 R 154 (R is the Reynolds number). According to the vorticity fields obtained using digital image processing for visualized flow fields, the primary vortex street breaks down into a nearly parallel shear flow of Gaussian profile at a certain downstream distance, before a secondary vortex street of larger scale appears further downstream. The process leading to the nearly parallel flow can be explained as the evolution of the vortex regions of an inviscid fluid if we invoke the observation that the distance between the two rows in the primary vortex street increases with the downstream distance, although the viscous effect probably contributes to this increase. Numerical computations with the discrete vortex method also support this explanation. The wavelengths and speeds of the primary and secondary vortex street are also measured.     

Numerical analysis on transitions and symmetry-breaking in the wake of a flapping foil

Flying and marine animals often use flapping wings or tails to generate thrust. In this paper, we will use the simplest flapping model with a sinusoidal pitching motion over a range of frequency and amplitude to investigate the mechanism of thrust generation. Previous work focuses on the Karman vortex street and the reversed Karman vortex street but the transition between two states remains unknown. The present numerical simulation provides a complete scenario of flow patterns from the Karman vortex street to reversed Karman vortex street via aligned vortices and the ultimate state is the deflected Karman vortex street, as the parameters of flapping motions change. The results are in agreement with the previous experiment. We make further discussion on the relationship of the observed states with drag and thrust coefficients and explore the mechanism of enhanced thrust generation using flapping motions.     

The wake behaviour behind a heated horizontal cylinder

The behaviour of vortex structures shed from a heated cylinder is experimentally investigated by means of 2-D particle tracking velocimetry. Within this investigation the Re_D number was chosen to be 73. The Ri_D number, the dimensionless number which presents the relative importance of the induced heat, varies between 0 and 1. The experiments were carried out in a large towing tank where the disturbances caused by boundary layers could be minimised. The results show that for small Ri_D numbers the induced heat results in a deflection of the vortex street in negative y-direction. Within the vortex street a linking of two subsequently shed vortices occurs where the vortex shed from the lower half of the cylinder rotates around the vortex shed from the upper half. These phenomena are assumed to be caused by a strength difference between the vortices shed from the upper half of the cylinder and the lower half. For Ri_D=1 the effect of the induced heat and buoyancy becomes even more pronounced resulting in a more upwards directed vortex street.     

Statistical theory applied to a vortex street generated from meander of a jet

Statistic features of a vortex street formed by instability of a jet are investigated by numerical calculation and statistic theory. A formation process of a vortex street is numerically calculated using a simple barotropic quasi-geostrophic system: a jet in the initial state begins to meander owing to its instability and vortices are formed in both flanks of the jet and become a steady vortex street. Statistic theory of vorticity mixing for two-dimensional fluid, which describes the statistically steady equilibrium state based on the maximum entropy assumption, is applied to the numerically obtained features of the steady vortex street. The theoretically derived relation between stream function and potential vorticity explains the results in the numerical calculation very well. However, in the numerical calculation, there remain regions where the fluid is not mixed well. By calculating mixing process of another scalar, the unmixed region is clearly shown on the physical plane.     

Exotic vortex wakes—point vortex solutions

Von Kármán was the first to present a quantitative model of the “vortex street” wake as a double row of point vortices, to determine which configurations propagate in the direction of the rows, and to consider the linear stability theory for such states. In the early literature one works with infinite rows of vortices. The vortex street is assumed to continue to infinity both upstream and downstream. Another analytical approach is to use periodic boundary conditions in the direction of the wake. This representation was used by Domm in his analysis of the instability of the Kármán vortex street. Birkhoff and Fisher in 1959 were the first to treat vortices in a periodic strip as a dynamical system in its own right. We have used the periodic system to address problems of vortex wake patterns, in particular vortex wakes that are more complicated than the traditional two-vortices-per-strip configurations. We use the term “exotic” for such wakes. We submit that this approach can yield a number of insights, including results of direct relevance to experiments, in the same sense that von Kármán's analysis has been helpful to the understanding of the regular vortex street wake, and we present the results obtained to date following this program.

Formation of vortex street and vortex pair from a circular cylinder oscillating in water

The flow around a circular cylinder undergoing sinusoidal oscillating movement in still water is investigated by phase-locked PIV measurements. The pattern and development of large-scale vortex structures in the flow are studied from the velocity vectors and vorticity contours obtained at eight successive phases of an oscillating cycle. Experiments are performed at three Keulegan–Carpenter numbers; KC=12, 6.28 and 4.25. Results at KC=12 reveal the mechanism of vortex formation and the development of the shed vortices into a vortex street at a lateral direction to the line of cylinder movement. The role of a biased flow stream and the length of the cylinder stroke in the formation of the vortex street are discussed. At the lower KC numbers, a symmetric pair of vortices is found attached to the leeward face of the cylinder. The vortex pair exhibits an increasing degree of asymmetry when KC increases from 4.25 to 6.28. An explanation in terms of the length of the cylinder strokes and the degree of flow asymmetry is offered for the transition of flow regimes from a vortex pair to a vortex street. The present results are compared with the observations made in previous experimental and numerical studies in the literature.     

Passive control of wake flow by two small control cylinders at Reynolds number 80

Passive control of the wake behind a circular cylinder in uniform flow is studied by numerical simulation at Re_D=80. Two small control cylinders are placed symmetrically along the separating shear layers at various stream locations. In the present study, the detailed flow mechanisms that lead to a significant reduction in the fluctuating lift but maintain the shedding vortex street are clearly revealed. When the stream locations lie within 0.8≤X_C/D≤3.0, the alternate shedding vortex street remains behind the control cylinders. In this case, the symmetric standing eddies immediately behind the main cylinder and the downstream delay of the shedding vortex street are the two primary mechanisms that lead to a 70–80% reduction of the fluctuating lift on the main cylinder. Furthermore, the total drag of all the cylinders still has a maximum 5% reduction. This benefit is primarily attributed to the significant reduction of the pressure drag on the main cylinder. Within X_C/D>3.0, the symmetry of the standing eddy breaks down and the staggered vortex street is similar to that behind a single cylinder at the same Reynolds number. In the latter case, the mean pressure drag and the fluctuating lift coefficients on the main cylinder will recover to the values of a single cylinder.     

Vortex shedding flow behind a slowly rotating circular cylinder

This paper investigates flow past a rotating circular cylinder at 3600?Re?5000 and α?2.5. The flow parameter α is the circumferential speed at the cylinder surface normalized by the free-stream velocity of the uniform cross-flow. With particle image velocimetry (PIV), vortex shedding from the cylinder is clearly observed at α<1.9. The vortex pattern is very similar to the vortex street behind a stationary circular cylinder; but with increasing cylinder rotation speed, the wake is observed to become increasing narrower and deflected sideways. Properties of large-scale vortices developed from the shear layers and shed into the wake are investigated with the vorticity field derived from the PIV data. The vortex formation length is found to decrease with increasing α. This leads to a slow increase in vortex shedding frequency with α. At α=0.65, vortex shedding is found to synchronize with cylinder rotation, with one vortex being shed every rotation cycle of the cylinder. Vortex dynamics are studied at this value of α with the phase-locked eduction technique. It is found that although the shear layers at two different sides of the cylinder possess unequal vorticity levels, alternating vortices subsequently shed from the cylinder to join the two trains of vortices in the vortex street pattern exhibit very little difference in vortex strength.     

Process of formation of a vortex street in the wake behind a flat plate

The process of the formation of a vortex street in the wake behind a flat plate set parallel to a uniform flow was investigated in a low speed wind tunnel. The vorticity distributions in the wake were calculated from the measured velocities using Taylor's hypothesis.

Just behind the plate, the equi-vorticity lines were nearly parallel to the free stream. At locations somewhat downstream, sinusoidal contour lines appeared near the wake center. Further downstream, some closed contour lines appeared in the figures mapped. The arrangement of the closed lines suggests the existence of a vortex street. The maximum value for vorticity in a wave length of the fundamental velocity fluctuation decreased in the downstream direction; the concentration of vorticity, however, increased in a region the further downstream it was. Meanwhile, the value for circulation obtained by the surface integral of vorticity within the closed contours of a vortex increased until the vortex street was established.
