摘要:
The temporal evolution of Ka´rma´n vortex shedding patterns in the wake of a cylinder placed at right angles to a uniform flow is studied for Reynolds numbers (based on cylinder diameter) between 80 and 140. Focusing on the dynamics of the vortex shedding phase in the wake planview (the plane spanned by the free‐stream direction and the cylinder axis) we study experimentally and model the response of shedding patterns to time‐dependent boundary conditions imposed at the cylinder ends. By appropriate impulsive changes of end conditions, spanwise wave number ‘‘shocks’’ can be produced that travel along the cylinder span. These shock experiments, together with data from steady oblique shedding patterns, are used to determine the parameters for the spanwise Ginzburg–Landau model, which has already been used successfully to describe many of the phenomena observed in cylinder wakes. We then demonstrate experimentally that, in analogy to gasdynamics, it is also possible to produce ‘‘expansion waves’’ of the spanwise wave number, which are well described by the Ginzburg–Landau model without further adjustment of its parameters. ©1996 American Institute of Physics.
