SummaryThe paper presents an experimental study of vortex systems generated in the region where an incompressible flow with spanwise varying velocity moves about a circular cylinder connected to a flat plate. The role that the various flow and geometric parameters play in the generation of the horseshoe vortex at the front of the cylinder is discussed and the dimensionless similarity numbers which describe the flow are derived.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
