Measurements have been made in the flow over an axisymmetric cylinder-flare body, in which the boundary layer developed in axial flow over a circular cylinder before diverging over a conical flare. The lateral divergence, and the concave curvature in the transition section between the cylinder and the flare, both tend to destabilize the turbulence. Well downstream of the transition section, the changes in turbulence structure are still significant and can be attributed to lateral divergence alone. The results confirm that lateral divergence alters the structural parameters in much the same way as longitudinal curvature, and can be allowed for by similar empirical formulae. The interaction between curvature and divergence effects in the transition section leads to qualitative differences between the behaviour of the present flow, in which the turbulence intensity is increased everywhere, and the results of Smits, Young & Bradshaw (1979) for a two-dimensional flow with the same curvature but no divergence, in which an unexpected collapse of the turbulence occurred downstream of the curved region.

Fixed Cylinder

In this paper we examine two-dimensional short surface waves in water of infinite depth produced by various modes of oscillation of a half-immersed circular cylinder. The usual method, which depends on finding the potential on the cylinder from an integral equation with a small kernel, is here replaced by one that uses instead the known value of the potential for incident waves in the presence of the fixed cylinder. Thus we are able to determine three-term asymptotic expansions for both the heaving and the swaying modes that improve on earlier forms, and, for the heaving mode, to refine the interpolation with previous numerical calculations and confirm in principle the result obtained elsewhere by a plausible argument. The rolling mode also can actually be included by superposition of the heaving and swaying modes for this cylinder.

Uniform Stream

This paper considers the two-dimensional flow past a circular cylinder immersed in a uniform stream, when the cylinder rotates about its axis so fast that separation in suppressed. The solution of the flow in the boundary layer on the cylinder is obtained in the form of a power series in the ratio of the stream velocity to the cylinder's peripheral velocity, and expressions are deduced for the value of the circulation and the torque on the cylinder. The terms calculated explicitly are sufficient to give reliable numerical values over the whole range of rotational speeds for which the postulate of non-separating flow is justifiable. The previously accepted theory, due to Prandtl, predicted that the circulation should not exceed a certain limit, while the present theory indicates that the circulation increases indefinitely with increase of rotaional speed. Strong arguments against the older theory are put forward, but the experimental evidence available is inconclusive.

Equilibrium Configurations

The two dimensional motion of a generally non-circular non-uniform cylinder on a flat horizontal surface is investigated. Assuming that the cylinder does not slip, energy conservation is used to study the motion in general. Points of returns, and small oscillations around equilibrium configuration are studied. As examples, cylinders are studied for which the cross section is an ellipse, with the center of mass at the center of the ellipse or at a focal point, and the frequencies of small oscillations around their equilibrium configurations are found. The conditions for losing contact or sliding are also investigated. Finally, the motion is studied in more detail for the case of a nearly circular cylinder.
