| Image of a Kármán vortex street in a fluid flow. |
While I was hunting today I saw a rock that was laying in a creek. I was mindful of the Kármán vortex street that was present in the flow downstream of the rock. A Kármán vortex street is a set of swirling vortices that are caused by the separation of fluid flow by a rigid object in the flow. The vortices are produced over a specific Reynold's number range which is depending on fluid properties of the fluid and the dimensions of the object obstructing the flow.
