Abstract: A model is developed to predict the choking cavitation number for sharp edged bluff bodies subject to wall interference effects. The fact that the forebody pressure distribution under cavitating ...

Abstract: The influence of cavitation on vortex shedding behind constrained sharp-edged bluff prisms is studied experimentally. At a given blockage, the length of the vortex formation region is found to ...

Abstract: The present study examines the effect of cavitation on the base pressure coefficient of a circular cylinder. The tests are conducted at near-constant Reynolds numbers (≈10

Abstract: The wake characteristics of constrained, cavitating two‐dimensional bluff bodies are studied over a large range of blockage. Prismatic sources with fixed separating points are chosen to reduce or eliminate Reynolds number ...

Abstract: Experimental results related to the interaction between a uniform flow and a two-dimensional counter flowing wall jet are presented for various ratios of the jet velocity to the freestream ...

Abstract: Experiments were conducted to determine the turbulent concentration field in the wake of a normal flat plate. Dye was introduced behind the plate as the tracer. The measurement of the dye ...

Abstract: Curvilinear flows are commonly encountered in hydraulic engineering practice. Detailed velocity surveys of the curvilinear flow field over a circular-crested two dimensional weir were obtained using ...
