Unsteady Vortex Structures in the Wake behind Bluff Bodies

Blog Article

Unsteady vortex structure in the looney tunes knot on head wake behind bluff body was experimentally investigated by wind tunnel experiment.A flexible rectangular plate, which was made of a soft polyurethane block, shows the sway motion and flow-induced vibration caused by fluid force.Phase-averaged vortex structures behind the flexible plate were educed by Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) oakley multicam sunglasses using light sensors.

The size of recirculation region and upwash flow in the wake were influenced by unsteady motion of the plate vibration.
