Effect Of Gap Flow On The Shallow Wake Of A Sharp-Edged Bluff Body – Turbulence Parameters, A.M Shinneeb, R. Balachandar Aug 2016

Effect Of Gap Flow On The Shallow Wake Of A Sharp-Edged Bluff Body – Turbulence Parameters, A.M Shinneeb, R. Balachandar

Civil and Environmental Engineering Publications

This experimental study was carried out to investigate the turbulent wake generated by a vertical sharp-edged flat plate suspended in a shallow channel flow with a gap near the bed. The objective of this study is to understand the effect of the gap flow on the turbulent wake by studying two different gap heights between the channel bed and the bottom edge of the bluff body. These two cases were compared to the no-gap case which is considered as a reference case. The maximum flow velocity was 0.45 m/s and the Reynolds number based on the water depthwas 45,000. Extensivemeasurements …
