The existence of two stages in the transition to three-dimensionality of a cylinder wake
Abstract
The transition to three-dimensionality in the near wake of a circular cylinder involves two successive transitions, each of which corresponds with a discontinuity in the Strouhal–Reynolds number relationship. The first discontinuity [between Reynolds numbers (Re) of 170 to 180] is associated with the inception of vortex loops, and it is hysteretic. The second discontinuity (between Re=230 to 260) corresponds with a change to a finer-scale streamwise vortex structure. At this discontinuity there is no hysteresis, and it is suggested that two modes of vortex shedding alternate in time.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
