Structural Health Monitoring
Vortex shedding is the phenomenon where alternating low-pressure vortices are formed behind a bluff body as fluid flows past it. This process can lead to oscillating forces on structures, which is particularly significant in tall buildings subjected to wind loads. Understanding vortex shedding is crucial for predicting and managing wind-induced vibrations in architectural designs.
