Experimental Investigations and Numerical Simulations of the Viscous Flow around T-Profiles

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper investigates both experimentally and numerically the flow of a viscous fluid around T-profiles, i.e. T-shaped bodies, having different geometries. Of main interest it was the vortex shedding behind the T-profiles with an eye towards its application to flow measurement in open channels. Another purpose of the study was to assess to what extent different numerical models can be used to accurately predict the flow in the vortex street behind T-profiles.
