Abstract
A critical scrutiny of the nature of the three-dimensional characteristics of the vortex wake of a circular cylinder serves to suggest lines for further investigation and furnishes some ideas on the nature of the growth and development of these non-uniformities. It is suggested that the basic occurrence in the growth of three-dimensionality is the continuation of vortex lines, oriented more or less parallel to the body, into the direction of the free stream. The causes of this vary, as do the details of the development with the particular situation considered.Experiments were performed in a wind tunnel at Reynolds numbers based on cylinder diameter of 85, 235 and 2 × 104, at which stable, transitional and turbulent vortices were investigated.
