- Description:
- A new hodograph for the wake boundary behind a flat plate placed normal to the flow was developed and verified with experimental results. In this mathematical treatise velocities along the shear layer can vary. The classical Kirchhoff's solution is a special case of this model. A comparison of the sizes of wakes produced by a flat plate, a 90-degree wedge, and a circular cylinder were made. The effect of the depth of water relative to the width of the obstacles on the wake size was investigated. The shape of wakes produced by an embedded sphere with different degrees of submergence was also studied. All experimental work was done in a horizontal straight open channel using water as the experimental fluid.
