The wake behind an inclined plate simulating airfoil is to be studied experimentally. The vortical structures are identified eventually. Theirs topology and dynamical behaviour is to be studied in details using the Proper Orthogonal Decomposition method. The stereo time resolved Particle Ima...

The dynamics of the tip vortices in the wake behind a wall-mounted finite-length circular cylinder of the aspect ratio 2 was studied experimentally using time resolved stereo PIV technique. The cylinder was mounted normal to a ground plane and it was subjected to a cross-flow&...

Long-term efforts have been made to understand loss generation and its reduction in the field of axial turbomachines. The traditional approach to losses for an isolated blade row considers the profile and the secondary losses as a result of viscous flow. The additional kinds o...
