Three-dimensional pressure fluctuation fields in the vicinities of cantilevered cylindrical obstacles

Abstract

The fields of turbulent near-wall pressure fluctuations in the vicinities of cylindrical bodies mounted orthogonal to the surface in a flow are experimentally investigated. The considerable inhomogeneity and three-dimensionality of the pressure fluctuation field in the measurement area is shown. The dependence of the main characteristics of the inhomogeneous pressure fluctuation field on geometric parameters is presented. A weak influence of the boundary layer thickness and the obstacle height, when greater than the cylinder diameter, is demonstrated.
