Abstract

The turbulent wake of screen-shrouded cylinders were experimentally investigated using flow visualization. Screen cylinders made from screen mesh of various porosity (37%, 49%, 61% and 67%) were used as the shrouds. The main purpose of the study is to examine the effect of screen porosity, β and screen diameter ratio, dw /D (wire diameter to cylinder diameter ratio) on the vortex development behind the shrouded cylinders, particularly in supressing the vortex shedding from a circular cylinder. The diameter ratio between the screen shroud and the plain cylinder, D/d was 2.0. The flow Reynolds number based on the shroud diameter, ReD was about 1000. Results showed that the inclusion of the screen shrouds has significant impact on the wake of the circular cylinder. With larger value of the non-dimensional parameter βdw /D, vortex was impaired and the formation length was longer in the shrouded cylinder wake. The vortex generation mechanism was also discussed.
