Abstract:
The wake configuration of a sphere has been determined by means of the surface oil-flow method, the smoke method and the tuft-grid method in a wind tunnel at Reynolds numbers ranging from 10 4 to 10 6 . It was found that the wake performs a progressive wave motion at Reynolds numbers between 10 4 and 3·8 × 10 5 , and that it forms a pair of stream wise line vortices at Reynolds numbers between 3·8 × 10 5 and 10 6 .
