Abstract

An investigation of a selection of high-Reynolds-number bluff-body flows was conducted. Here in Part 2 phase-averaged velocity-field results will be presented for several far-wake flows generated by nominally two-dimensional and three-dimensional bodies. In these far-wake flows the shed vortices have approached a nearly constant convection velocity. Some mean velocity and phase-averaged and global Reynoldsstress measurements are also presented. The turbulent wake of a lift-producing three-dimensional body has been examined. Also included are the phase-averaged wake patterns behind a flapping flag and a windmill. The topological structure of these patterns is discussed and a preliminary classification of wake patterns is presented.
