Talk:Kármán vortex street

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is so cool. Any references on the insect related reference? Cypa 20:45, 3 September 2005 (UTC)

Sure. I have added a link in the External links section. --Ruleke 08:33, September 7, 2005 (UTC)

Why not, all these sections deal with vortex, the best manner is to create a section about vortex and inside this section include these 2 sections

The range of Re varies with the kinematic viscosity? This either needs to be removed, because it has already been covered by the change in Re, or referenced. If the kinematic viscosity can change the range of Re, the Re is not a suitable scaling parameter, and this seems unlikely.

[edit] Merge request

This merge request has been up for a long time now. My intuition is to not merge the two because one is talking about airflow around a compliant object and the other is talking about flows at high Reynold's numbers around non-compliant ones. I will delete the tags in a few days unless I hear an objection. -- Selket ^Talk 04:44, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Kármán vortex street not Von Kármán vortex street

Kármán himself called it "Kármán vortex street" in his book Aerodynamics and The Wind and Beyond: "...in London this is called Kármán vortex street, in Berlin Kármánsche Wirbelstrasse...."

Also in textbooks such as Tritton Physical Fluid Dynamics, Oxford University Press--Gisling (talk) 22:35, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
