Notes:
The formation length of Kármán vortices can be drastically reduced by small-amplitude excitation at a frequency much higher than the natural frequency of Kármán vortex formation, namely the Kelvin–Helmholtz (KH) frequency of the separating shear layer. Phase-locked patterns of KH vortices are attainable. These spatially stationary patterns coexist, however, with the spatial and temporal development of the Kármán vortices. © 1995 American Institute of Physics.
