Description

The turbulence flow around a square or diamond-shaped cylinder has received far less attention than the flow around a circular cylinder. An experimental study was performed to visualize the wake flows behind a diamond-shaped cylinder. Several kinds of aspect ratios d/w and b/w were selected in the experiment, where w was a width of the cylinder, d and b were a depth and width of the duct, respectively. The wake flows were visualized at a top view, a side view and rear views using the fluorescein dye illuminated by a laser light sheet. The velocity variations in the flow field were measured using two-dimensional laser Doppler velocimetry. It is shown that the three dimensional longitudinal vortices appear in the wake flows behind the diamond-shaped cylinder. The characteristics of the turbulence in the wake flows behind it are clarified.
