The standing vortex behind a disk normal to uniform flow at small Reynolds number
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 20 April 2006
Abstract
Viscous incompressible flow around a circular disk set normal to undisturbed flow is theoretically studied at small values of the Reynolds number. The critical Reynolds number at which a standing vortex first appears behind the disk is zero, and the flow separates from the edge of the disk. Several other features of the flow are obtained from the present analysis.
