Further experiments on steady separated flows past bluff objects

Abstract

<jats:p>Detailed experimental results are presented for the steady separated flow past a variety of bluff objects. Included in this work are measurements of: rear stagnation point pressure coefficients; the pressure distribution along the base of a backward-facing step; velocity profiles within the circulating wake-bubble as well as in the outer flow; lengths, maximum widths and vortex centre locations of the corresponding wake-bubbles; and the local shear stress along the surface of a circular cylinder. In every case, the experimental data were found to be consistent with the theoretical model proposed by Acrivos <jats:italic>et al.</jats:italic> (1965) for the steady separated flow past bluff objects in the limit of large Reynolds numbers <jats:italic>R</jats:italic>.</jats:p>
