Comparison of experiment and numerical results for a stirred vortex W at the time instances (a) 6 s, (b) 10 s, and (c) 14 s after the cylinder was lifted. The size of the window is about 17 cm square area. Note that the experiment photographs are adapted from [22] for comparison with numerical results.
