Abstract
Results from an investigation of the fully developed turbulent wake of a circular cylinder are presented. The study was conducted in the liquid phase, in the controlled flow field of a water tunnel. A technique was developed for measuring the intensity of turbulence in water. The decay of turbulence intensity downstream from a series of fine‐mesh wire screens was measured and compared with aerodynamic decay laws. Profiles of the turbulence intensity in the cylinder wake were also obtained. This paper is Part I of a study of liquid phase turbulent mass transfer in the wake of a cylinder. The mass transfer results are reported in Part II.Keywords
