Diameter of Cylinder given Strouhal Number Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Diameter of Cylinder with Vortex = (Strouhal Number*Freestream Velocity of Fluid)/Frequency of Vortex Shedding
D_vortex = (S*V_∞)/n
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Diameter of Cylinder with Vortex - (Measured in Meter) - Diameter of cylinder with vortex is the diameter of the internal surface of the cylinder having a vortex fluid flow.
Strouhal Number - Strouhal Number is a dimensionless number describing oscillating flow mechanisms.
Freestream Velocity of Fluid - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Freestream Velocity of Fluid is the velocity of fluid far upstream of a body, that is before the body has a chance to deflect, slow down, or compress the fluid.
Frequency of Vortex Shedding - (Measured in Hertz) - The Frequency of Vortex Shedding is defined as a dimensionless ratio that relates the wind velocity and the pipe diameter to the forcing frequency.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Strouhal Number: 0.061 --> No Conversion Required
Freestream Velocity of Fluid: 21.5 Meter per Second --> 21.5 Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Frequency of Vortex Shedding: 1.56 Hertz --> 1.56 Hertz No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

D_vortex = (S*V_∞)/n --> (0.061*21.5)/1.56

Evaluating ... ...

What is the Strouhal number used for?

The Strouhal Number can be important when analyzing unsteady, oscillating flow problems. The Strouhal Number represents a measure of the ratio of the inertial forces due to the unsteadiness of the flow or local acceleration to the inertial forces due to changes in velocity from one point to an other in the flow field.

What is the vortex shedding effect?

Vortex shedding is a phenomenon when the wind blows across a structural member, vortices are shed alternately from one side to the other, and where alternating low-pressure zones are generated on the downwind side of the structure giving rise to a fluctuating force acting at right angles to the wind direction .
