titleCalculating Shedding Frequency

To accurately calculate the shedding frequency, open the cl-history file (saved previously in the same location where the original mesh was read) and plot the data using excel for better data representation and graphing option. Take an average of 10 shedding cycles (e.g 10 CL peak).
