Abstract

Experiments are described in which the vortex shedding from a bluff body and the base pressure coefficient have been measured in a shear flow. It is shown that the shedding breaks down into a number of spanwise cells in each of which the frequency is constant. The division between the cells is thought to be marked by a longitudinal vortex in the stream direction and this is supported by evidence from experiments where a longitudinal vortex was generated in an otherwise uniform flow.
