Analysis of the wake–mixing-layer interaction using multiple plane PIV and 3D classical POD

The strong interaction between turbulent structures arising from a plane mixing layer impinging on a circular cylinder is studied. This complex flow has been investigated by a set-up called “dual-plane” PIV that uses two 2D PIV (two-dimensional particle image velocimetry) planes acquired simultaneously. This approach allowed us to apply a 3D-POD (three-dimensional proper orthogonal decomposition) treatment. The first POD modes show the main footprint of the flow configuration, which comprises oblique structures associated with the action of the mixing layer on the near wake. The present study suggests, by analogy, that this phenomenon behaves like the dislocation observed in uniform wake flows.
