Abstract

The far turbulent wake of a slightly heated cylinder was studied using our specially developed four-wire probe and digital processing of signals obtained. The processing method included a simultaneous solution of full nonlinear response equations for the four sensors yielding values of instantaneous velocity vector and temperature. The accuracy of results was improved substantially by the subtraction of free-stream velocity and temperature variations, first-order corrections for the d.c. drift of the signals, the elimination of 60 Hz related noise, and instantaneous correction for the streamwise displacement between the sensor wires. A low temperature threshold was used to discriminate between turbulent and potential flow.

The frequency of crossing of the turbulent-potential interface and statistics of turbulent and potential zone intervals are presented. Conditionally sampled fluctuating velocity and temperature fields are given for turbulent and potential zones as well as for a fluid at the downstream and upstream interface of the turbulent zones. Averaging was done with respect to conventional (Reynolds) as well as local zone or point means. The results on turbulence structure up to second-order correlations are presented in this paper.

It is hoped that the data will be useful for those interested in methods of prediction of turbulence, especially those based on the consideration of large structures. Researchers more interested in the physical phenomena involved might also find the data suitable for further analysis and interpretation.
