Description:
Experiments using a wind tunnel and a flow visualization technique in a towing tank were conducted to investigate the mechanism of vortex shedding from bevelled trailing edges. These reveal an important difference between the wake structures generated by heaving and steady motion. The suppression of vortex-excited vibration by means of bevelled trailing edges is attributed to the intermittency and rapid decay of the vortex trail resulting from an asymmetric circulation distribution in the vortex formation region. © 1973, Cambridge University Press.
