Abstract

This article discusses the behaviour and interaction of two circular cylinders in the flow pattern when one of the cylinders affects wake of the second cylinder. The wake behind the cylinder was investigated experimentally by using a time resolved PIV and CTA method. Velocity fields were obtained for several regimes of Reynolds numbers and several positions of the second cylinder. A frequency of vortex shedding was gained from the acquired images.
