Popis: Karman-vortex shedding induced by wake instability behind a 2-D airfoil is of interest at relatively low Reynolds numbers, to understand how a vortex street develops in the wake region, and also how an aeolian tone is generated therefrom; this is supposed to show a different flow mechanism from a high-Reynolds number flow that exhibits more complicated viscous-flow phenomena. In this study, we performed numerical simulations of a 2-D laminar flow past an NACA0012 airfoil. The computation was run on the simulation code being developed to predict an aero-acoustic problem by using a highly accurate numerical method. For the verification of our code, the results are compared with the experimental data obtained in a similar flow configuration and also with an available numerical study. The detailed flow visualization is presented to understand the mechanism of the wake instability that results in vortex shedding.
