A potential flow model of two-dimensional vortex shedding behind an inclined plate is developed. The free shear layers which emanate from the sides of the plate are represented by discrete vortices through the use of the appropriate complex-velocity potential, the Kutta condition and the Joukowsky transformation between a circle and the plate cross-section. The analysis is then applied to predict the kinematic and dynamic characteristics of the flow for various angles of attack. The results compare favourably with the available experimental data as far as the form of vortex shedding and the Strouhal number are concerned. The calculated normal-force coefficients are 20−25% yo larger than those measured by Fage & Johansen (1927).
