    cause flow separation which will result in vortex shedding. (Bearman, 1998).This separation changes the flow field from steady flow to unsteady flow with an increase of the Reynolds number. Properties of the wake produced behind a bluff body depend on three main factors, which when combined into a single relationship known as Reynolds number Re has an important influence on the characteristics of vortex induced vibration. These properties include: free-stream velocity Uf, geometry of the structure acting

    maximum which happens to be the free stream velocity. In other words, theoretically speaking the boundary layer is infinite, but for measurement purposes the boundary layers ends where the velocity gradient is 99% of the free stream velocity. The Reynolds number, a unit less ratio of inertial forces to viscous forces, is used to identify the several inner layers of the boundary layer. Furthermore, as previously mentioned when a body parallel to the flow, such as a flat plate, is placed in the parallel
