Effect of initial conditions on vortices in a turbulent near wake
Abstract
In the preset study, vortices behind various wake-generating bodies have been examined in some detail with the objective of assessing their sensitivity to initial conditions. The experimental methodology that is adopted consists in first detecting the vortices by a procedure that includes criteria for the vorticity concentration and circulation.
