A SPLITTER PLATE FOR THE PREVENTION OF VORTEX SHEDDING BEHIND FINITE CIRCULAR CYLINDERS IN UNIFORM CROSS FLOW

Abstract

Vortex shedding of circular cylinders in uniform cross flow may be prevented by the installation of a radially extending plate, which is rigidly attached to the cylinder. The principle of vortex shedding prevention by such a splitter plate is explained and the minimum dimensions of the plate are theoretically derived and compared with experimentally found values.
