    How Can We Calculate the Correlation Length L for Vortex Shedding?

    Hi, RandomGuy88! The meaning of those variables, is: b - Crosswind dimension Ymax - Maximum displacement due to vortex shedding St - Strouhal number Sc - Scruton number K - Mode shape factor L - Lenght over which vortex shedding occurs Kw - Effective correlation length factor (See...

    How Can We Calculate the Correlation Length L for Vortex Shedding?

    Thank you, "RandomGuy88"! According to Eurocode, the largest displacement "Ymáx/b", due to vortex shedding, can be calculated using expression: Ymáx/b = 1/St^2 x 1/Sc x K x Kw x Clat I can determinate all of them, except "Kw", which is a function of the so called "correlation lenght"...

    How Can We Calculate the Correlation Length L for Vortex Shedding?

    Please Help! In dealing with wind induced forces, caused by vortex shedding action over a circular cylinder, we must calculate the parameter "Kw" (effective correlation factor), which depends on "L/b", "L" beeing the "correlation lenght" (Eurocode). Is there any method, analytical (or...
