Annual progress report on imposed 3-D disturbances on bluff-body near wake flows
Abstract
We wish to achieve a better understanding of the underlying physical mechanisms that make bluff body flows. These flows are typically characterized in two-dimensions, but exhibit three-dimensional effects. Further we hope to be able to associate these effects, which are characterized by vortex splitting and vortex looping, to various properties of the flow such as drag, base pressure, shedding frequency, wake formation length and if possible to the global instability of the flow.
