Özet

The vortex street suppression in the near wake region of the cylinder with parallel plates was investigated using particle image velocimetry (PIV) at Reynolds number of Re = 7500. The rigid plates are designed as flat, parallel with the free-stream direction, and located on both sides of the cylinder. Two different plate lengths (0.5D and 1D based on the cylinder diameter, D) were examined at gap ratios of g/D = 0.1, 0.3, 0.5, 0.7, and 0.9, respectively. Proper Orthogonal Decomposition (POD) analyses were also employed to reveal vortex mechanism in the near wake region. The gap ratio significantly influences the interaction of the vortices. At low gap ratios, the plates directly affect the development of shear layers on both side of the cylinder. The shear layers elongate downstream with a reduction of the vortex shedding frequency. Moreover, Reynolds shear stress, vortex shed-ding instabilities and vortex street are suppressed in the near wake region with the help of using parallel plates. On the other hand, vortex shedding reinforces instabilities at higher gap ratios. Besides, the most effective gap ratio is different for each the plate lengths to suppress instabilities.
