A near wake study of vortex shedding from bluff bodies at low Reynolds numbers
Vortex shedding in the near wakes behind a flat plate and a circular cylinder is studied for Reynolds numbers, <I>R, </I>between 80 and 235. Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) is used to generate velocity maps of the surface flow from which the vorticity fields are found. The majority of r...
