VORTEX SHEDDING FROM A CIRCULAR CYLINDER IN OSCILLATORY FAR FLOW

By using a process of successive approximations, the Boundary-Layer equations are solved to determine the separation points of a circular cylinder in oscillatory flow under the conditions of vortex existing. Combining with the discrete vortex model, the separation points and the fluid force coefficients are calculated at different KC numbers and Re numbers, A modified Morison equation is used in calculating the inline forces, and good agreements are obtained between the calculated results and those from other's experiments.
