The struts of a landing gear can be modeled as a tandem cylinder system where one cylinder is yawed to the mean flow direction. The current experimental investigation will examine the effect that yawing either the front or rear cylinder will have on the pressure fluctuations and associated unsteady flow field. This will be accomplished using 24 simultaneous unsteady wall pressure measurements on the cylinder wall. Two yaw angles will be examined here, α = 80° and α = 60°, for both the yawed upstream and yawed downstream cases.

The frequency of vortex shedding from a circular cylinder in a uniform shear flow and the flow patterns around it were experimentally investigated. The Reynolds number Re, which was defined in terms of the cylinder diameter and the approaching velocity at its centre, ranged from 35 to 1500. The shear parameter, which is the transverse velocity gradient of the shear flow non-dimensionalized by the above two quantities, was varied from 0 to 0·25. The critical Reynolds number beyond which vortex shedding from the cylinder occurred was found to be higher than that for a uniform stream and increased approximately linearly with increasing shear parameter when it was larger than about 0·06. In the Reynolds-number range 43 < Re < 220, the vortex shedding disappeared for sufficiently large shear parameters. Moreover, in the Reynolds-number range 100 < Re < 1000, the Strouhal number increased as the shear parameter increased beyond about 0·1.
