Abstract
The bistable how of two circular cylinders of diameter ratio 2:1 was i nvestigated. Based on the quantitative and qualitative measurements, t wo modes of flow are observed. Interactions of the adjacent gap-side v ortices with the outer vortices and the pairing of outer vortices in b oth modes form the important mechanisms for the development of flow st ructures and wakes further downstream.
