“…The specific type of wavelet filter plays a lesser role for MODWPT, especially when a large filter is used, as shown in § A.4. Among the most commonly used wavelet filters, this work has chosen the Daubechies wavelets as they have been widely adopted in turbulent flow applications (Indrusiak & Möller 2011;Rinoshika & Omori 2011;Mancinelli et al 2017). Detailed performance comparisons of different wavelets are included in § A.4.…”

“…Non-periodic and unsteady dynamics often rejected by Fourier analysis is preserved in MRA. Besides direct implementation of MRA on data series acquired in turbulent flows (Ruppert-Felsot, Farge & Petitjeans 2009; Indrusiak & Möller 2011; Rinoshika & Omori 2011; Mancinelli et al. 2017; Kim et al.…”

This numerical study with experimental support examines the bistable phenomenon along two parallel smooth cylinders submitted to a uniform turbulent cross-flow. The spacing ratio P/D of the cylinders is 1.26, being D the cylinder diameter and P the distance between centers. The computational domain and the experimental tests section are equivalents. The Reynolds number based on the free mean velocity and cylinder diameter was Re = 2.2 × 10 4. For the numerical analysis, the Navier-Stokes equations were solved using finite volumes method for a URANS simulation (unsteady Reynolds averaged Navier-Stokes) with the kω-SST-SAS (shear stress tensor-scale adaptive simulation) turbulence model. Measurements were performed by means of hot wire anemometry technique, firstly to determine actual boundary conditions of flow velocity and turbulence intensity at the test section entrance, secondly to obtain velocity and velocity fluctuation at the wake of the cylinders in different positions along the cylinder height to corroborate the numerical results. By means of the numerical results of velocity, the process of the wake formation is described, showing that the bistability does not occur simultaneously along the cylinder, corroborated by a delay on the switching process of the simultaneously measured velocities and the cross-correlation function. This effect appears also in the results of cylinder wall pressure distribution as well as in lift and drag coefficients.

This paper presents an experimental study performed in an aerodynamic channel using hot-wire anemometers and flow visualization by injection of dye in water in a hydraulic channel of the flow on two rigid cylinders placed at several angular positions to the flow, from 0° (side-by-side) to 90° (tandem). The main objective is to analyze the effects of the angular positions on the wake flow and the occurrence of bistability. Signal analysis was performed by means of Fourier and discrete and continuous wavelets transform. Time series of the angle of the flow emanating from the cylinder gap related to the main flow direction were obtained from flow visualization analysis to track the flow mode change in the water flow. Results from the aerodynamic channel showed the presence of bistability only for side-by-side configuration, and some attempts to modify the flow mode for 2.5° and 5° while through the flow visualization the flow mode changes were present for side-by-side and for 2.5° configurations. For the other angles investigated, the presence of a narrow and a wide wake without flow mode changes was observed. The difference between the results for 2.5° suggests that the scales and inertia involved in bistability phenomenon may affect the phenomenon. For 75°, the wide wake is so vigorous that it overwhelmed the narrow wake, displacing it downwards, and increasing the amplitude of the vertical component of the wake compared to smaller angles. The phenomena analyzed can be seen as two-dimensional for all cases, but the presence of vertical components shows that the resulting flow is three-dimensional.
