Abstract

We consider separated oscillatory flows in asymmetric channels when the Strouhal number is sufficiently great for the flow not to be quasi-steady, but where the flow is not dominated by viscous effects. In this range, we show that numerical calculations predict the expansion of vortices during a deceleration and we investigate these flows in several different geometries. These calculations are supported by experimental observations of the motion of small particles immersed in water.
