Abstract
A discrete vortex model is developed to analyse the two-dimensional fully separated unsteady flow past a rectangular prism. The effects of viscous diffusion of vortices and the loss in vorticity after the stationary prism with a thickness ratio ranging from 0.5 to 2.0. The formation of Karman vortices, the vortex shedding frequency, and the fluid forces acting on the body are favourably compared with the experimental results by various research workers. The method of analysis is also shown to be applicable to the flow past a prism that is in forced vibration.
