Summary

Spanwise velocity correlations of the turbulent vortices shed by a two-dimensional bluff body of D-section are presented for different aspect ratios of the shedding body between end-plates. From these it is shown that the vortices are only shed two-dimensionally when the gap between the end-plates is less than or equal to four times the base height of the shedding body.
