Weakened Vortex Shedding from a Rotating Cylinder

An experimental study of the turbulent near wake of a rotating circular cylinder was made at a Reynolds number of 2000 for velocity ratios, λ between 0 and 2.7. Particle image velocimetry data are analyzed to study the effects of rotation on the flow structures behind the cylinder. The results indicate that the rotation of the cylinder causes significant changes in the vortex formation. Kármán ...

Vortex Dynamics on a Cylinder

Spatially periodic rows of point vortices in a 2-dimensional ideal fluid have long attracted the attention of fluid dynamicists, one of the earliest and the most popular instances being Kármán’s vortex street [6], [15, photos 94–98]. The general problem is as follows: analyse the motion of an infinite configuration consisting of vortices z1, . . . , zN ∈ C with vorticities Γ1, . . . ,ΓN ∈ R tog...

Discrete vortex simulation of the separated flow around a rotating circular cylinder at high Reynolds number

The separated flow around a rotating circular cylinder is investigated by the discrete vortex method combined with the boundary layer theory. The Keller Box method is used to solve the laminar boundary layer in order to determine the separation points on the upper and the lower sides of the rotating circular cylinder. The nascent vortices are then introduced near the separation points. A discre...

Longitudinal vortex structures in a cylinder wake

Recently, flow visualizations by Wei and Smith,’ Williamson,’ Welsh et a1.,3 and Bays-Muchmore and Ahmed4 have shown that three-dimensional (3-D) vertical structures develop in the wake of a bluff body. The 3-D vertical structures were found to include pairs of counterrotating longitudinal vortices superimposed on the nominally two-dimensional (2-D) Kirmin vortex street as speculated by Grant’ ...
