It is well known that the wake behind a cylin drical body aligned perpendicular to the oncom ing flow can develop an alternating pattern of strong vortices. This alternate shedding of vor tices from the body results in an instantaneously asymmetric flowfield, while in the mean' the flowfield remains symmetric. The alternate shed
