Abstract

The wake behind two flat plates placed side by side normal to the inflow has been investigated by direct numerical simulation. The spacing between the two plates is one plate width d and the Reynolds number based on the plate width and inflow velocity is 1000. Flow pattern study indicates an anti-phase vortex shedding behind flat plates in the near wake which merges to one large wake downstream. Such a vortex structure has not been observed behind the flat plates for this gap ratio.
