This paper presents results from research of a structure in a wake of hyperboloid-shaped body. The research was provided in an experimental and a numerical way, and two models with slightly different surface features were used. The experiment was prepared and provided in a Boundary-Layer Wind Tunnel for subcritical Reynolds numbers by means of Particle Image Velocimetry and the numerical calculation was provided in ANSYS Discovery Aim project system. The aim of this research was to find and describe a 3D vortex structure in its wake called an arch vortex and, on top of this, to suggest a numerical way for the development of a computational model of measured phenomena.
