Wake flow past an ALUTEC profile

Abstract

Aluminum construction profiles become a standard construction material for short-term stands in science and in industry as well. It has the shape of square prism with an groove in each side to easy connecting the nut or bolt in any location. We studied the wake past the profile of 45 mm side. We studied the topology of the wake in the dependence on the angle of attack by using the Particle Image Velocimetry technique.
