Abstract

The present investigation considers the vortex wakes behind finite-length yawed cylinders that are stationary or vibrating transversly in a uniform flow. In the Reynolds-number range 160–103 a number of three-dimensional and nominally two-dimensional wake flows are observed and attributed to the dominance of end conditions over rather large spans of the cylinder (aspect ratios up to 100).
