Abstract

The wake behind a cone in incompressible flow has the form of a closed bubble. Measurements of velocity, turbulence and static pressure for various cone angles show that the wakes are all essentially similar. A wake Strouhal number may be defined, which is the same for all the models. A disk may be treated as a cone of 180° vertex angle.
