On the Wake and Drag of Bluff Bodies
Abstract
A modification to Kirchhoff's free streamline introduces the parameter k = √(1- C_ps), which allows arbitrary base pressure and which must depend on the dynamics of the wake. For a cylinder of given cross-sectional shape, the drag, C_D, and the wake width, d', are functions of k only. These functions are used to relate C_D and the dimensionless shedding frequency , S = nd/U_ ∞ to another number, S* = nd' / U_s, which is based on wake parameters. It is found that S* = 0.16 for all cylinders. In another approach, k is evaluated by using Karman's solution for the vortex street.

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.
