Abstract
The wake of a bluff body is calculated using a 3-D Vortex Method and turbulence statistics are calculated from the results, which are then compared with measurements by Particle Image Velocimetry and a URANS calculation. It is shown that when compared to a 2-D Vortex Method calculation, which was previously performed by the authors, the results of the 3-D calculation is much closer to the PIV measurements and URANS calculation.
