Experiments were carried out in a stratified fluid with a momentum source modeled by a horizontally moving jet. The generation mechanism was investigated and the evolution characteristics were analyzed for the quasi-two-dimensional dipolar vortex streets generated by such a moving momentum source in the stratified fluid. The conditions of different Reynold and Froude number (Re, Fr) combinations under which the dipolar vortex street can be generated by moving momentum source were determined by use of data based on the present series of experiments. Moreover, the dependence of the dimensionless formation time and inverse dimensionless average wavelength of the dipolar vortex street on Fr for different values of Re was obtained. The results show that these parameters are independent of Re and approximately follow some exponential laws of Fr.
