Title: On vortex shedding from a circular cylinder in the critical Reynolds number régime

Narrow-band vortex shedding has been observed up to a Reynolds number of 5·5 × 10 5 , i.e. well into the critical régime. At this Reynolds number the Strouhal number reached the unusually high value of 0·46. Spectra of the velocity fluctuations measured in the wake are presented for several values of Reynolds number.Read More
