Abstract
We characterize experimentally and numerically the two-dimensional structure of the global mode of
the longitudinal component of the velocity in flow behind obstacles of different geometrical shapes.
Measurements in a low velocity water tunnel and numerical simulations of the longitudinal component
Vx of the oscillating velocity are carried out in the near wake region of the flow where vortex
shedding is regular. We find that in the range of Reynolds numbers studied, the position (
) of the maximum of the global mode of
Vx shift very little away from the
central line in the
y direction. The amplitude
of the maximum of the global mode
scales as
in a range of
larger then in previous studies. We also
confirm that
of the global mode scales as
in the same range of
Reynolds numbers. An analysis of the initial slope of the global mode is presented.
