Abstract
Experimental studies on wall-bounded flows and wake flows were conducted in the NRCIAR water tunnel. Circular cylinders, square columns and a two-dimensional airfoil NACA0018 were tested at low Reynolds number flow conditions. A mini-scale PIV technique was applied to measure the quantitative, unsteady information of the flow field in the wall-bounded flows and in the wake flows. The square columns and the wing profile were tested at different incidences. It has been found that there are distinct eddies in the wall-bounded flows even at the low Re number and laminar boundary layer conditions. For the wake flows of the circular cylinders and square columns, their separation and wake development are much affected by the Reynolds number and the shape of the model. The flow physics has been briefly discussed by the open shear flow instabilities.
