Abstract
Impulsively started, low-aspect-ratio elliptical and rectangular flat plates were investigated to determine the role of geometric asymmetries on vortex evolution. Dye visualizations, force measurements, and particle image velocimetry were used throughout to characterize the variation between shapes. For all the shapes studied, aspect ratio was observed to have the largest influence on force production and vortex evolution. Non-uniform curvature and edge discontinuities characteristic of ellipses (with aspect ratios other than one) and rectangles, respectively, play a secondary role. Furthermore, it was shown that stably attached vortex rings form behind the circular and square flat plates, which reduce the instantaneous drag force of each plate until the vortex rings break down. In contrast, all flat plates with aspect ratios other than one are subjected to fast-modulating elliptical vortex rings in the wake. These vortex rings increase the drag force of each plate until pinch-off occurs. Finally, pinch-off was identified with the streamwise pressure-gradient field and compared with formation numbers calculated using the circulation-based methodology, yielding good agreement for all plates with aspect ratios greater than one.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
