The distance maintained between the mesh and honeycomb has been selected by trial and error, to ensure that the smoothest possible flow approaches the square cylinder. Stable velocities in the range of 0:5 3 m/s could realized in the test section. These values correspond to a Reynolds number range of 100 - 700 for the cylinder sizes referred earlier. A seeding arrangement is fitted prior to the honeycomb for PIV measurements.
