Abstract: | An actual vortex in the Kármán vortex street downstream of a circular cylinder has a core of finite dimension which increases downstream. The circulation of the vortex is nearly constant. The ratiob/a which is 0.281 according to the theory of Kármán, grows from 0.2 to 0.4 in the near wake. In the flow about a circular cylinder rotating in a uniform flow, a Kármán vortex street, Görtler-type vortices and Taylor vortices are generated at the same time. In the flow about a circular cylinder impulsively started with a constant velocity, the primary twin vortices behind the cylinder induce secondary twin vortices near the separation point. At the beginning of the motion, the separation does not occur even though a reverse flow is observed in the boundary layer. Mutual slip-through of a pair of vortex rings was achieved by increasing the Reynolds number. A vortex ring rebounds from a plane surface due to the separation of the flow on the surface induced by the vortex ring, and the secondary vortex ring is formed from the separated shear layer. |
