Abstract/Summary:
Results are reported for an experimental study of the flow around a two dimensional square cylinder mounted in the vicinity of a solid wall with the upstream cylinder face normal to the on-coming flow at a Reynolds number of 23,000 (based on the cylinder height, D and the free-stream velocity, ;In general, the reduction of the gap height results in a decrease of the overall turbulence levels.
