Wake instability of a fixed spheroidal bubble (2007, methodology): “After averaging in space, this allowed us to evaluate the corresponding kinetic energy (AV∞) (2)/2 of the azimuthal motion as a function of Re (Thompson et al. 2001).”
From spheres to circular cylinders: the stability and flow structures of bluff ring wakes (2003, methodology): “Johnson & Patel 1999; Ormi` eres & Provansal 1999; Tomboulides & Orszag 2000; 148 G. J. Sheard, M. C. Thompson and K. Hourigan Thompson, Leweke & Provansal 2001a ).”
Instabilities and transition of a sphere falling or ascending freely in a Newtonian fluid (2004, background): “This is in a very good agreement with other cases of von Kármán vortex streets such as in the cylinder wake of Williamson (1989) or in the wake of a fixed sphere (Ghidersa & Dušek 2000).”
Wake-Induced Oscillatory Paths of Bodies Freely Rising or Falling in Fluids (2012, methodology): “…state global stability analysis of Natarajan & Acrivos (1993) and was succeeded by the DNS of Ghidersa & Dusek (2000), Johnson & Patel (1999), Thompson et al. (2001), and Tomboulides & Orszag (2000) and the detailed experiments of Ormieres & Provansal (1999), which altogether yielded a…”
Cylinders with square cross-section: wake instabilities with incidence angle variation (2009, result): “Included in figure 18 is experimental data digitized from Tong et al. (2008) for a square cylinder at α = 0◦, in close agreement with the present numerical results.”
