Effect of body shape on the characteristics of a self-similar plane wake

  • Published:
Journal of engineering physics Aims and scope

Abstract

The turbulence characteristics in the wake of an elongated plane body with two sharp trailing edges have been experimentally investigated. It is shown that in the self-similar region the parameters of the plane wake depend on the body shape.
