The interaction of high intensity turbulence with the flow past a rigid circular cylinder was studied experimentally at subcritical Reynolds numbers. Grids were used to produce homogeneous turbulence fields with longitudinal scales ranging from 0.36D to 4.40D, and with longitudinal intensities greater than 10%. Power and cross-spectra of the turbulence components (the 'system input') were measured in order to carefully define the turbulence characteristics. A model with which measurement of arbitrary two-point pressure correlations could be made was used in the response experiments. Subsequent integrations yielded the spectral properties of the unsteady drag and lift. Measurement of mean drag and Strouhal frequency indicate that to some extent even severe large-scale turbulence can be considered equivalent to an increase in the effective Reynolds number. Vortex shedding is not disrupted drastically by severe turbulence, but is affected more by that at low frequency than at high. The unsteady lift response is still dominated by the vortex shedding, whereas the unsteady drag is primarily a response to turbulence. (Author).

This book discusses the subject of wave/current flow around a cylinder, the forces induced on the cylinder by the flow, and the vibration pattern of slender structures in a marine environment.The primary aim of the book is to describe the flow pattern and the resulting load which develops when waves or current meet a cylinder. Attention is paid to the special case of a circular cylinder. The development in the forces is related to the various flow patterns and is discussed in detail. Regular as well as irregular waves are considered, and special cases like wall proximities (pipelines) are also investigated.The book is intended for MSc students with some experience in basic fluid mechanics and for PhD students.

An experimental investigation has been carried out on the flow transitions around a smooth circular cylinder in the initial stage of the critical Reynolds number region, where drag coefficient starts to decrease. In this Reynolds number region, intermitent reattachment of the separated boundary layer was found, while only initial separation position excursion was observed in the subcritical region. Large spanwise variations in the surface pressure and wake velocity observed in the first critical subregion were associated with local wake width pulsations caused by spanwise phase variations in the unsteady flow reattachment.

Bluff-body wakes play an important role in many fluid dynamics problems and engineering applications. This book gives and up-to-date account of recent results obtained in the study of bluff-body wakes. Experimental, theoretical and numerical approaches are all comprehensively covered and compared. Topics of particular interest include hydrodynamic instability analyses, three-dimensional pattern formation problems, flow control methods, bifurcation analyses, numerical simulations and turbulence modelling. The main originality of thisvolume is that recent conceptual advances made to describe nonlinear phenomena in general are put to the test on a classical problem in fundamental fluid mechanics, namely the wake structure generated behind a bluff object.
