Abstract
An inviscid model for the Karman vortex street, containing vortices of uniform vorticity surrounded by irrotational fluid, is related to the wake behind a bluff body by a global analysis requiring the conservation of momentum, energy and vorticity. Some comparison is made with experimental results reported in the literature. A qualitative procedure is proposed whereby the slow evolution of the wake through viscous effects is approximated. Some comments are made regarding the relevance of the stability properties of the inviscid street. Some calculations are made for the 'secondary vortex street' that is observed after breakdown and rearrangement, and comparison is made with experiment.
