Abstract
A two-dimensional wake model for turbulence profiles is developed for (sharp-edged) bluff bodies based on similarity (self-preservation) and universality (different shapes). The method employs spectral filterin g around the shedding peak and normalization by the local maximum long itudinal turbulence (I-um) and by the corresponding lateral coordinate (y(m)).
