Oscillatory flow over a cylinder resting on a plane boundary
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 26 September 2008
Abstract
Oscillatory flow over a circular cylinder, or part-cylinder, placed on a plane boundary, when the Strouhal and streaming Reynolds numbers are large, is considered. The solution is developed in matching inner and outer boundary layers. A steady streaming motion in the outer layer can lead to a net flow away from the cylinder along the plane boundary. A simple experiment substantiates this prediction, and the implications for bed-scouring are examined.
