Effects of a short splitter plate on the wake characteristics and vortex evolution of flow around a circular cylinder in proximity to a wall
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 07 August 2025
Abstract
The experimental investigation focuses on the effects of a short splitter plate on the flow physics of a circular cylinder in proximity to a wall by particle image velocimetry. The Reynolds number is Re = 3900, and the near-wall cylinder is immersed in turbulent boundary layer flow. Three gap ratios (i.e. 
$G/D$ = 0.25, 0.5 and 1) are considered, and the splitter plate length is 
$L/D=0$, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75 and 1. For 
$G/D$ = 0.5 and 1, as 
$L/D$ increases from 0 to 1, the splitter plate facilitates the cylinder shear layers to elongate downstream, and the vortex formation length is increased, which leads to the increase of the range of the recirculation region. For 
$G/D$ = 0.25, the wall suppression on the wake vortex formation is enhanced, and the variations of the vortex formation length and the range of the recirculation region with 
$L/D$ are small. The Strouhal number St presents a decrease with increasing 
$L/D$ for the three gap ratios. The effects of 
$L/D$ on the vortex evolution are revealed. For 
$G/D$ = 0.5 and 1, as 
$L/D$ increases, the induction of the lower wake vortex on the wall secondary vortex becomes weaker due to the reduction in strength of the wake vortex and the increase of the vortex formation length. Additionally, the wake fluctuation intensity is decreased with the increase of 
$L/D$ due to the splitter plate suppression. For 
$G/D$ = 0.25, theL/D influences on evolution of the wake vortices and wall secondary vortex are small, which result in weaker variation of the wake fluctuation intensity with 
$L/D$.
