Low-frequency wake instability of an axisymmetric bluff body in pitch

The backflow instability in the wake past a cylindrical blunt-based body in pitch is investigated at a Reynolds number ReD = 6.7 · 104 based on the cylinder diameter. Time-resolved stereoscopic particle image velocimetry measurements have been performed in a cross-flow plane located 0.3 D downstream of the model base. An increasing displacement...
