Abstract

The study of wakes has many engineering applications. A wake is present behind any object placed in a fluid flow. The wake structure affects the pressure distribution on the object creating the wake. A wake is characterized by high turbulent intensities and mean velocity gradients in the lateral direction. The mathematical modeling of a general three-dimensional wake is very complicated. Work is therefore initiated by modeling a two-dimensional symmetric turbulent wake behind a flat plate. Another reason for choosing this simple flow situation is that very good quality experimental data can be produced for this simple flow. The results from the computational model and comparison with experimental data is the topic of this paper.
