Confined three-dimensional stability analysis of the cylinder wake

Fluid Dynamics 2009-11-10 v2

Abstract

A spatially confined stability analysis is reported for the cylinder wake at Reynolds numbers 190 and 260. The two three-dimensional instabilities at these Reynolds numbers are shown to be driven by the flow just behind the cylinder.
