Karman vortex street behind a circular cylinder at Re=105. The initially spreading wake shown opposite develops into the two parallel rows of staggered vortices that von Karman's inviscid theory shows to be stable when the ratio of width to sreamwise spacing is 0.28. Steaklines are shown by electroytic precipitation in water. Photograph by Sadatoshi Taneda. Photogragh and text taken from "An Album of Fluid Motion" by Van Dyke
