The Kelvin-Helmholtz Instability of the Separated Shear Layer from a Circular Cylinder

  • Conference paper
Bluff-Body Wakes, Dynamics and Instabilities

Summary

Experiments have been performed in which the nature of the Kelvin-Helmholtz instabilities in the separating shear layer from a cylinder were studied when perturbed by an applied sound field. The nature of their interaction with the Strouhal vortices was also examined.
