Abstract:This article is concerned with the numerical analysis of reduction of fluid forces (drag and lift) and suppression of vortex shedding around two side-by-side square cylinders using the lattice Boltzmann method. For this purpose, a passive flow control methodology is adopted in which a flat plate (termed as the control plate) is placed at the upstream position of cylinders. The gap ratio (
g
) between the cylinders and the pla… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
