Von Karman Vortex Shedding

I am looking for data on von Karman vortex shedding high Reynolds numbers, greater than 10^6. Thanks

See Blevins, Robert D., "Flow induced vibration," second edition, 1994 reprint, Krieger, Malabar, FL.

I assume that you are interested in circular cylinders. (If not, this book also has some information on other shapes.) This book has a graph of Strouhal number versus Reynolds number for the circular cylinder that goes up to Re of 10^7. on page 45.

Over the Re range from 10^5 to 3x10^6 there are two curves, labeled "smooth surface" and "rough surface".

The references for this figure are: Lienhard (1966), Wash. State Univ., Col. of Eng., Res. Bull. 300. Achenbach and Heinecke (1981), J. Fluid Mech., 109,

Hope this helps, Olin Perry Norton

There is some French data for Reynolds numbers around 10,000,000 that indicate a Strouhal number of about 0.3
