Summary

The paper presents an experimental study of vortex systems generated in the region where an incompressible flow with spanwise varying velocity moves about a circular cylinder connected to a flat plate. The role that the various flow and geometric parameters play in the generation of the horseshoe vortex at the front of the cylinder is discussed and the dimensionless similarity numbers which describe the flow are derived.
