The pr resence <strong>of</strong> a precessing vvortex<br />

core ( (PVC) is a vvery<br />

important<br />

characte eristic to be identified i becaause<br />

if presennt,<br />

the value o<strong>of</strong><br />

its frequency<br />

<strong>and</strong> am mplitude will affect the exxperimental<br />

reesults<br />

in diffeerent<br />

ways. Foor<br />

example<br />

in case <strong>of</strong> pr<strong>of</strong>ile p plots foor<br />

velocity commponents<br />

witth<br />

precession <strong>of</strong><br />

vortex core c there will<br />

be a shift inn<br />

the radial poosition<br />

<strong>of</strong> the pr<strong>of</strong>ile lines ffor<br />

each ti ime step/ ins stantaneous ssnapshot<br />

in case <strong>of</strong> PIV.<br />

This shift is<br />

proport tional to the amplitude a <strong>of</strong> the<br />

precession <strong>and</strong> a final teemporal<br />

averagge<br />

<strong>of</strong> all th he instantaneo ous measuremeents<br />

will resullt<br />

for example in a vortex coore<br />

size lar rger than the e actual one. . On the othher<br />

h<strong>and</strong> thee<br />

frequency <strong>of</strong><br />

precessi ion will introd duce a bias in RMS values o<strong>of</strong><br />

velocity commponents<br />

in thhe<br />

vortex precession p reg gion. This means<br />

that the mmeasured<br />

valuues<br />

<strong>of</strong> Reynolds<br />

stress co omponents an nd turbulent kkinetic<br />

energyy<br />

(TKE) includde<br />

a bias in thhe<br />

vortex core c region.<br />

Figure 4.50 4 shows th he instantaneoous<br />

vortex coree<br />

position forr<br />

the algo orithm define ed in section 44.3.6.<br />

The alggorithm<br />

is onlly<br />

applicable to<br />

instanta aneous data fo or z1 only becauuse<br />

for the othher<br />

downstreaam<br />

positions thhe<br />

instanta aneous data ca an have more than one vorrtex<br />

in the vorrtex<br />

core regioon.<br />

From figure f 4.51 it i can be seeen<br />

that for most <strong>of</strong> thee<br />

instantaneouus<br />

measure ements the vo ortex core loccation<br />

is not fixed <strong>and</strong> mooves<br />

in an area<br />

between n r/R= ± 0.2. However, H to cconclude<br />

any ffurther<br />

detailss<br />

like precessioon<br />

frequen ncy <strong>and</strong> ampli itude, high sppeed<br />

<strong>and</strong> timee<br />

measuremennts<br />

are nec cessary comp pared to currrent<br />

PIV expperimentationn<br />

used in thhis<br />

experim ment. The peri iodicity in thee<br />

vortex core pprecession<br />

cann<br />

be detected bby<br />

well-def fined peaks in n the frequenncy<br />

spectra annd<br />

in case thhere<br />

is no peaak<br />

observe ed then the vo ortex precessioon<br />

is considereed<br />

to be r<strong>and</strong>oom<br />

In orde er to find ou ut the existennce<br />
