A model for the symmetry breaking of the reverse Bénard–von Kármán vortex street produced by a flapping foil (original) (raw)
2009, Journal of Fluid Mechanics
AI-generated Abstract
This research presents a model addressing the symmetry breaking of the reverse Bénard–von Kármán vortex street resulting from a flapping foil. The investigation explores the effects of varying parameters, including the Stokes number and amplitude, on the onset of symmetry breaking. Findings reveal critical thresholds and suggest potential applications in understanding fluid dynamics in engineered systems.

Vorticity dynamic and symmetry breaking in the near wake of a flapping-foil
The vortex structures in the near wake of a apping foil are studied using 2D Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) from a hydrodynamic tunnel experiment. We study in particular the mechanisms that determine the symmetry breaking of the reverse Bénard-von Kármán vortex street and propose a semi-empirical model.
