Extract

Experiments in the wake of a circular rod at a Reynolds number Re=5·104 have shown that single vortex-like structures can leave the wake and may be detected in the ambient potential flow. This experimental finding suggested the theoretical investigation of the interaction between a vortex and a shear flow. Lin has calculated the average acceleration acting on the vortex at the time t = 0. In the following a finite-difference scheme is described which, in detail, determines the local components of the acceleration and the temporal development of the flow.
