SINOPSIS

Experiments were performed in an incompressible plane mixing layer past a blunt trailing edge for a Reynolds number based on the splitter plate thickness of 0(104 ). The influence of the trailing edge geometry on the mixing layer development was investigated with two-point hot wire measurements which permit us to perform a Proper Orthogonal Decomposition (POD) of the flow. The blunt trailing edge wake was found to be responsible for a strong modification of the organization of the flow. Compared to a conventionnal mixing layer, the self-similar region was shifted downstream, the scale of the large structure are governed by the trailing edge thickness and all the statistical quantities such as the Reynolds stress profiles or the POD modes exhibit a streamwise evolution dominated by the wake characteristics over the mixing layer behaviour in the near region.
