    Description: Using a variety of flow-visualization techniques, the flow behind a circular cylinder has been studied. The results obtained have provided a new insight into the vortex-shedding process. Using time-exposure photography of the motion of aluminium particles, a sequence of instantaneous streamline patterns of the flow behind a cylinder has been obtained. These streamline patterns show that during the starting flow the cavity behind the cylinder is closed. However, once the vortex-shedding process begins, this so-called ‘closed’ cavity becomes open, and instantaneous ‘alleyways’ of fluid are formed which penetrate the cavity. In addition, dye experiments also show how layers of dye and hence vorticity are convected into the cavity behind the cylinder, and how they are eventually squeezed out. © 1982, Cambridge University Press.

    Description: From the results of a flow visualization experiment, certain physical characteristics of a turbulent spot are suggested by the authors. The spot was artificially initiated at a point by a small intermittent wall jet. The authors also carried out experiments behind vibrating trip wires and observed the ‘signatures’ or ‘footprints’ of the A-shaped vortices seen by other workers. The fact that these ‘signatures’ are also observed in a turbulent spot leads one to suspect that these spots consist essentially of an array of A-shaped vortices. The formation of the spot is subsequently described in terms of three-dimensional disturbances of the cross-stream vortex filaments. The basic structure of the turbulent spot proposed here is similar to the suggested structure of fully developed turbulent boundary layers first put forward by Theodorsen (1955) and more recently by Bandyopadhyay & HEAD (1979). © 1981, Cambridge University Press.

    Description: The instantaneous velocity vector fields which surround the coherent structures of Perry & Lim (1978) in coflowing jets and wakes have been successfully measured and related to the smoke patterns for Reynolds numbers of order 1000. By the use of critical point theory, a qualitative description of the three-dimensional flow field can be made and is applied to the simplest structures which were classified by Perry & Lim. From these results, the convection of smoke and vorticity from the source and the entrainment properties of the structures are discussed. © 1980, Cambridge University Press. All rights reserved.

    Description: A flow visualization study in water was completed on the interaction of a streamwise vortex with a laminar boundary layer on a two-dimensional wing. The vortex was generated at the tip of a finite wing at incidence, mounted perpendicular to the main wing, and having the same chord as the main wing. The Reynolds number based on wing chord was about 5000. Two different visualization techniques were used. One involved the injection of two different colored dyes into the vortex and the boundary layer. The other technique utilized hydrogen bubbles as an indicator. The position of the vortex was varied in a directional normal to the wing. The angle of attack of the main wing was varied from -5 to +12.5 deg. The vortex induced noticeable cross flows in the wing boundary layer from a distance equivalent to 0.75 chords. When very close to the wing, the vortex entrained boundary layer fluid and caused a cross flow separation which resulted in a secondary vortex.

    Description: Theoretical and experimental results of studies to determine the flow parameters and structures of plane mixing layers are reported. Smoke visualization, combined with hot-wire anemometry, sheets of laser light, and photography were used to gather data from the wall flow. The behavior of vortex rods was examined, noting that the rods persisted only if new vortex energy was supplied from the sublayer. A power spectral density was defined for the velocity fluctuations, as was a hierarchy of velocity scales for geometrically similar vortices. The length scale grows linearly with downstream distance, where the flow structures are fed by longitudinal vortices. A model is developed for vortex pairing in sequential order from the bottom of the mixing layer outward in a repetitive process involving vortex stretching. The model is actually a migration strategy that satisfies the flow self-preservation constraints.
