A finite-length circular cylinder mounted to a wall serves as a simplified model for bluff bodies encountering flow, with a wide range of relevant applications, including aircraft landing gear, automobile appendages, and wind turbine masts. In the present study, finite wall-mounted circular cylinders with different spanwise aspect ratios ( where is the length of the cylinder and is its diameter) of 3.2, 6.5, 12.9 and 22.6 are examined at a Reynolds number of based on the cylinder diameter. The incoming boundary layer thickness on the wall to which the cylinder is mounted is . Large Eddy Simulation (LES) is employed to simulate the turbulent flow, and the Ffowcs Williams–Hawkings equations are solved simultaneously to predict the far-field noise. The acoustic spectrum of the circular FWMCs is characterized by tonal peaks for aspect ratios = 3.2, 12.9, and 22.6 in which a primary tonal peak (P1) and lower frequency secondary peak (P2) are identified. The transition from dipole to quadrupole in the three-dimensional time-averaged vortical structures is also summarized. Notably, suppression of vortex shedding is observed for the cylinder with , while cellular vortex shedding is observed in longer cylinders. The shedding cells near the junction and free tip exhibit lower shedding frequencies compared to the mid-span cell. Wake structures in-phase to the acoustic pressure are examined, confirming both the tip and mid-span related vortex shedding noise of the circular FWMCs. Furthermore, the in-phase structures associated with the primary (P1) peak are characterized by vertical vortex tubes that are well-organized downstream and exhibit strong consistency with Kármán vortex tubes shedding from the mid-span. The coherent structures corresponding to the secondary (P2) peak are found to be concentrated to the free end and are inclined in the downstream direction.
