Abstract

Flow visualization and correlation measurements revealed the existence of large streamwise vortices in a turbulent wall jet that is attached to a circular cylinder. These coherent structures were not to be found near the nozzle, nor were they artificially triggered, thus the vortices could be a product of centrifugal instability. The existence and scale of this large-scale coherent motion were corroborated by stability analysis applied to the measured mean flow.
