Direct numerical simulations of the turbulent wake of an axisymmetric bodyThe paper presents comparisons of results of direct numerical simulations of turbulence with both laboratory data and self-similarity theory for the case of the turbulent wakes of towed, axisymmetric bodies. In general, the agreement of the simulation results with both the laboratory data and the self-similarity theory is good, although the comparisons are hampered by inadequate procedures for initializing the numerical simulations.
