On density effects and large structure in turbulent mixing layers
Garry L. Brown,Anatol Roshko +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, Spark shadow pictures and measurements of density fluctuations suggest that turbulent mixing and entrainment is a process of entanglement on the scale of the large structures; some statistical properties of the latter are used to obtain an estimate of entrainedment rates, and large changes of the density ratio across the mixing layer were found to have a relatively small effect on the spreading angle.
Journal ArticleDOI
The compressible turbulent shear layer: an experimental study
TL;DR: In this paper, the growth rate and turbulent structure of the compressible, plane shear layer are investigated experimentally in a novel facility, where it is possible to flow similar or dissimilar gases of different densities and to select different Mach numbers for each stream.

Journal ArticleDOI
Vortex formation in the wake of an oscillating cylinder
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the acceleration of the cylinder each half cycle induces the roll-up of the two shear layers close to the body, and thereby the formation of four regions of vorticity each cycle.
Journal ArticleDOI
Experiments on the flow past a circular cylinder at very high Reynolds number
TL;DR: For R > 3.5 × 10^6, definite vortex shedding occurs, with Strouhal number 0.27 as discussed by the authors, while for R > 0.7, the vortex shedding rate becomes constant.
