Experimental part was provided by means of 2D Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV). The contribution contains results from PIV measurements in a range of Reynolds numbers varying from 43000 up to 53000. The tunnels used for the measurement were two different types: Low Speed Wind Tunnel of Eiffel type (LSWT) with low rate of turbulence intensity and Boundary Layer Wind Tunnel (BLWT) with high rate of turbulence intensity.
