| Abstract/Description: | The flow over a set of tandem cylinders at a moderate Reynolds numbers (Re), and with different separation lengths has been studied. Two dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) plasma actuators were used to control the flow over the leading cylinder to change the vortex shedding, and subsequently the flow on the second cylinder. The 3D plasma actuator was segmented along the length of the cylinder with a spacing of ? = 4 while the 2D actuator simply ran straight down the span of the cylinder. Particle image velocimetry (PIV) measurements were used to investigate the flow along the central plane in the wake of the cylinders. The image pairs were processed into velocity grids which were then averaged. Plots of the shear, vorticity, and turbulent kinetic energy were created. These plots are used to understand how the character of vortex shedding from the upstream cylinder changes the same from the downstream one. | |
