摘要
3-D evolution of Karman vortex filaments and vortex filaments in braid regions in the turbulent wake of a 2-D circulax cylinder is investigated numeri- cally based on inviscid vortex dynamics by analyzing the response of the initially 2-D spanwise vortex filaments to periodic spanwise disturbance of varying magnitude, wavelength and initial phase angles. Our results reveal a kind of 3-D vortex system in the wake which consists of large scale horseshoe-shaped vortices and small scale λ-shaped vortex filaments as well as vortex loops. The mechanism and the dynamic process about the generation of streamwise vortical structure and the 3-D coherent structure are reported.
