Wake Frequency Calculation Excel Sheet -

[ f = \fracS_t \cdot VD ]

| Parameter | Value | |-----------|-------| | Mass per length (kg/m) | 200 | | Damping ratio ζ | 0.005 | | Log decrement δ | =2 PI() B9 | | Scruton number | =(2 B8 B10)/(B11*B2^2) | wake frequency calculation excel sheet

Use VLOOKUP or XLOOKUP to adjust ( S_t ) automatically. Create a table for different velocities and headings: [ f = \fracS_t \cdot VD ] |

1. Theoretical Background When a fluid (wind or water) flows past a cylindrical structure, vortices alternately shed from each side, creating a periodic force. The vortex shedding frequency (( f )) is given by:
