Abstract

Abstract In most wind-tunnels and water channels a uniform low-turbulence free stream is produced in order to obtain reliable measurements. Such a uniform free stream, however, is not at all common in many engineering applications. For example, the wind is an atmospheric boundary layer and has ashear velocity profile. Other non-uniform velocity profiles may be found in tides and currents. Hence, all cylindrical structures submerged in winds, tides or currents are always exposed to a non-uniform free stream.
