- Modified Strouhal number sâ²t is independent of angle of attack.
- Lateral momentum transfer towards the opposite shear layer reaches its peak ¼ period after a vortex is shed.
- The trailing edge vortices are possessing higher coherent structure levels than the leading-edge vortices.
- Wake region behind the trailing edge exhibit higher momentum transfer towards the centerline than leading edge.
In this study vortex shedding phenomenon behind two inclined flat plates in tandem arrangement have been studied experimentally. Velocity field components were acquired by employing of Hot-wire Anemometer (HWA) for successive phases in a vortex shedding cycle at Reynolds number Re = 21,000, at three angles of attack 45°, 60° and 75°. The effects of gap ratio between the plates (g/D) together with angle of attack (α) on the asymmetric flow structure, time averaged wake ï¬ow properties and coherent structures have been investigated. Strouhal number st decreases monotonically with increasing angle of attack, whereas, Modified Strouhal number st' (based on the projected plate width as the characteristic length) is independent of angle of attack. Phase averaged contour shows significant lateral momentum transfer to a growing vortex ¼ period after a vortex was shed. The result of coherent structure shows a train of opposite vortices, with unequal coherent strength, are being shed alternating from leading edge and trailing edge of the plates.
