Summary

Some experiments concerned with the wake flows of a number of flat plates of low aspect ratio (Fail, Owen and Eyre) have suggested that for large angles of inclination to the undisturbed stream the wake includes a region of recirculation. The present observations include a detailed study of this region, with particular reference to the wake produced by an equilateral triangular plate, and an attempt is made to explain why the recirculatory flow is found only at angles of incidence greater than 35°. The data includes some wind tunnel measurements of force coefficients, static pressure and mean velocity, and observations of the wake flow made in a smoke tunnel and in a water tunnel.
