What is the vortex shedding effect?

Vortex shedding is a phenomenon when the wind blows across a structural member, vortices are shed alternately from one side to the other, and where alternating low-pressure zones are generated on the downwind side of the structure giving rise to a fluctuating force acting at right angles to the wind direction.

What is the Strouhal number used for?

The Strouhal Number can be important when analyzing unsteady, oscillating flow problems. The Strouhal Number represents a measure of the ratio of the inertial forces due to the unsteadiness of the flow or local acceleration to the inertial forces due to changes in velocity from one point to an other in the flow field.

How to Calculate Frequency of vortex shedding?

Frequency of vortex shedding calculator uses Frequency of Vortex Shedding = (Freestream Velocity of Fluid*Strouhal Number)/Diameter of Cylinder with Vortex to calculate the Frequency of Vortex Shedding, The Frequency of vortex shedding formula is defined as a phenomenon when the wind blows across a structural member, vortices are shed alternately from one side to the other, and where alternating low-pressure zones are generated on the downwind side of the structure giving rise to a fluctuating force acting at right angles to the wind direction.
