Abstract

This paper describes an analysis of the forces induced by separation and vortex shedding from sharp-edged bodies in oscillatory flow at high Reynolds number. The analysis which is valid for the case of small oscillations of the fluid is compared with experimental data obtained at fairly low Keulegan–Carpenter numbers.The main conclusions of this paper were presented at the International Symposium on Wave Induced Forces on Structures at Bristol, 1978.
