Analysis of Experiments to Measure Body Vortices in Curved Flow

Abstract

This Technical Memorandum describes the methods used to fair data on vortices shed from a body in curved flow. The methods used to calculate local circulation density, total circulation density, apparent centre of total circulation, local vortex centre and local vortex core radius are described and empirical equations to represent the results are given.
