FLOW VISUALIZATION ON THE LEEWARD SIDE OF THE UPSTREAM JUNCTURE OF A YAWED CIRCULAR CYLINDER
ABSTRACT
Flow on the leeward side of the upstream juncture of a yawed circular cylinder placed between two flat plates with yaw angle 60° was investigated with a dye flow visualization technique and particle image velocimetry (PIV). Strong three-dimensionality of the wake flow is observed behind the juncture part, including steady wake vortices along the cylinder and pairs of horseshoe and trailing vortices on the plate. A three-dimensional singular point was identified on the symmetry plane behind the upstream juncture and its effect on the vortex system and the wake flow is described.
