Abstract: | |
The model of a hyperboloid shaped object was measured by means of 2D Particle Image Velocimetry in the Wind Tunnel with simulated atmospheric boundary layer. The model was tested in a subcritical range of Reynolds number. Various planes in a wake of the model were captured. One was set in the model axis and perpendicular to the ground and the averaged velocity field of this measurement revealed a possible arch vortex behind the model. Next, several planes perpendicular to the ground were measured. The averaged velocity field showed two symmetrical formations. From these measurements, the shape of the arch vortex was estimated. | |
