Abstract

European Mechanics Colloquium number 119 was held at Imperial College on 16–18 July 1979, when the subject of vortex shedding from bodies in unidirectional flow and oscillatory flow, was discussed. A wide range of experimental work was presented including low-Reynolds-number flows around circular cylinders, the influence of disturbances on bluff body flow, the measurement of fluctuating forces and the influence of oscillations of the stream. About a third of the 33 papers presented concentrated on theoretical aspects and the majority of these were concerned with the ‘method of discrete vortices’.
