Free Stream Velocity given Strouhal Number Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

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

Variables Used

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.
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.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Frequency of Vortex Shedding: 1.56 Hertz --> 1.56 Hertz No Conversion Required
Diameter of Cylinder with Vortex: 0.85 Meter --> 0.85 Meter No Conversion Required
Strouhal Number: 0.061 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

V_∞ = (n*D_vortex)/S --> (1.56*0.85)/0.061

Evaluating ... ...

V_∞ = 21.7377049180328

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

21.7377049180328 Meter per Second --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

21.7377049180328 ≈ 21.7377 Meter per Second <-- Freestream Velocity of Fluid

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.
