Blockage and Aspect Ratio Effects on Flow Past a Circular Cylinder for 10,000 < R < 100,000

摘要

A series of experiments has produced comparable results in which the relatively small changes in the flow past a circular cylinder associated with varying blockage ratios can be clearly distinguished. The experiments cover a range of blockage from 2 to 16% and of aspect ratios from 4 to 10. End plates were fitted to the cylinders.
