Abstract: Model tests were performed in a wind tunnel to determine vortex shedding patterns induced around a circular cylinder by spanwise shear in transitional Reynolds number flow. In addition, mean ...

Abstract: Circular cylinders of aspect ratio L/D=17 were tested in a wind tunnel under a wide range of spanwise upstream velocity shears. The correlation between upstream shear, characterized by a ...

Abstract: The present study examines the vortex street wake behavior of a flexible, helically wound, high aspect ratio marine cable in a linear shear flow. Particular attention is paid to the lock-on ...

Abstract: Resonant flow-induced oscillations of a flexible cable can occur when the damping of the cable system is sufficiently small. The changes in the flow field that occur in the near wake of the ...

Abstract: Wind tunnel tests were undertaken at subcritical Reynolds numbers to determine the vortex shedding characteristics behind a pair of finite circular cylinders at distances from one to six diameters ...
