Flow meters
Does anyone know of an elegant way of expressing the following in English: Die Wirbel entstehen an der linken und rechten Seiten des umstroemten Koerpers. "Vortices occur on the left and right sides of the body as the medium flows around it" - a bit clumsy, maybe there is a better option.

circulating/in motion (based in sentence)
I would translate the sentence as follows:
"The eddy current is induced in the left and right sides of a body/object in motion (or circulating body/object)"
I hope this fits to your translation! :)
"The eddy current is induced in the left and right sides of a body/object in motion (or circulating body/object)"
I hope this fits to your translation! :)

IMO there's no direct naturaly equivalent in English, so rewording is necessary. Some possibilities:
The vortices are formed on the left and right sides of the object immersed in the flow.
... of the object encountered by the moving medium/fluid.
[in a technical context, air is a also a fluid]
... of the obstruction.
[with the flow around the obstruction being implied by the context]

Peer comment(s):
| agree |
jccantrell
: I go with the first one, but might say "... object in the flow." because the German does not say it is 'immersed.'

Discussion
An obstruction (columnar object, bluff body, "Stoerkoerper") is placed in a flow path causing vortices to form behind it.
