The Near Wake of Bluff Bodies in Stratified Fluids and the Emergence of Late Wake Characteristics

Abstract

The primary goal of our work was to provide accurate information about velocity and density field in the near wake region of a flow around a sphere in a stratified fluid. This is a canonical configuration used in investigating a structure of stratified wakes and in numerical simulations.
