Abstract
Experimental results are given for the mean and fluctuation concentration in a plume from a point source in grid-generated turbulence, which has developed so as to have a width comparable to the cylinder diameter, is disturbed by a cylinder with its axis intersecting the plume axis perpendicularly. It is shown that the disturbance effect of the cylinder appears in the upstream region of about 1.5 diameter from the stagnation point. As the stagnation point is approached, the increased travel time and the enhanced molecular diffusion cause a noticeable amplification of the dissipation of concentration variance. Also, the characteristics of some conditional statistics of the plume entrained in the wake are examined in order to investigate the intermittent structure of the plume meandering produced by the Kármán vortex street.
