Test Case

Brief Description of the Study Test Case

The case considered is the flow past a finite-height circular cylinder mounted on a flat plate for two height-to-diameter ratios h/D = 2.5 and 5.0. The parameters of the study and the dimensions of the cylinder are given in Table 1. The cylinder was placed in a water tunnel and the measurement section dimensions are provided in Fig. 2. The thickness of the approach- flow boundary layer was about 0.1 = h and the free-stream turbulence level was Tu ≈ 2%.
