Abstract
The simplest structures of three-dimensional separated flows are those where the vortices induced by the separating free shear layers are aligned with the oncoming flow. Such steady separation patterns are known to appear on aircraft wings and slender bodies at small angles of incidence and they are already modelled for numerical treatment. The present experiments are devoted to a second class of three-dimensional separated flows where a system of vortices develops with vortex filaments not everywhere aligned to the oncoming flow so that unsteady flow areas originate.
