Abstract
The variations of drag and base suction of circular cylinders and bluff plates over the range of Reynolds number from 10 to 10^7 is discussed, with emphasis on the importance of the separated shear layers. A model for flows with a wake splitter plate is proposed. Effects of "three dimensionality" are discussed.
Additional Information
Copyright © 1993 Elsevier. This has been another and certainly not the last overview of the "kaleidoscope of challenging phenomena" (Morkovin, 1964) in flow around circular cylinders. Some previous ones are included in the references. I have learned much from them, from the other papers cited and from many more that could not be included. I would like to thank D. Lisoski and C.H.K. Williamson for assistance in preparation of the figures, and the Office of Naval Research, U.S. Department of the Navy, for years of support, most recently under ONR Contract No. N00014-90-J-1589.Additional details
