Fig. 6. Summary of vortex-wake topologies, the attachment of the LEV and the number
of shed LEVs and TEVs as a function of dimensionless wavelength
*. Note that the effective angle of attack amplitude
A
strongly increases with decreasing
*, which in part explains the increasing vortex size. The
more densely packed wake at low
* is a direct result of the
smaller distances between the shed vortices. Solid lines (1–3) indicate
bifurcations found in one movie sequence. Filled and open circles are for easy
distinction between modes only.
