Time-frequency analysis of the dynamics of different vorticity structures generated from a finite-length triangular prism

Time–frequency analysis of the dynamics of different wake vorticity structures, generated from a triangular prism orientated with its apex edge against the incoming wind, is carried out. Time–frequency analysis of time-series obtained with hot-wire anemometry is performed through a procedure based on proper orthogonal decomposition and spectral components are extracted with a technique that provides an increased efficiency for fluid dynamic applications.
