Abstract
This investigation examines the flow produced by a tandem cylinder system with the downstream cylinder yawed to the mean flow direction. The yaw angle was varied from α=90deg (two parallel tandem cylinders) to α=60deg; this has the effect of varying the local spacing ratio between the cylinders. Fluctuating pressure and hot-wire measurements were used to determine the vortex-shedding frequencies and flow regimes produced by this previously uninvestigated flow. The results showed that the frequency and magnitude of the vortex shedding varies along the cylinder span depending on the local spacing ratio between the cylinders. In all cases the vortex-shedding frequency observed on the front cylinder had the same shedding frequency as the rear cylinder. In general, at small local spacing ratios the cylinders behaved as a single large body with the shear layers separating from the upstream cylinder and attaching on the downstream cylinder, this caused a correspondingly large, low frequency wake. At other positions where the local span of the tandem cylinder system was larger, small-scale vortices began to form in the gap between the cylinders, which in turn increased the vortex-shedding frequency. At the largest spacings, classical vortex shedding persisted in the gap formed between the cylinders, and both cylinders shed vortices as separate bodies with shedding frequencies typical of single cylinders. At certain local spacing ratios two distinct vortex-shedding frequencies occurred indicating that there was some overlap in these flow regimes.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
