摘要
The wake structure behind two staggered circular cylinders with unequal diameters was investigated experimentally using the particle image velocimetry technique (PIV). This investigation was focused on the variations of flow patterns in terms of incident angle at Reynolds number Re=1200. Comparisons of the time-averaged flow field of two staggered cylinders with unequal diameters at different angles were made to elucidate the mean flow characteristics. The characteristics of Reynolds shear stress contours at different incident angles and spacing ratios were also investigated. The results showed that with increasing of incident angle, the scale of Reynolds stress contours behind the upstream cylinder becomes larger, as well as the effect of spacing ratio on Reynolds stress contours.
