Aerodynamic slot-control for 2D square prisms
AbstractRecent research in fluid mechanics has indicated that the non-universality of growth rate parameters in bluff body wakes might be related to the base wake vortex dynamics. This aspect relates to possible aerodynamic control strategies for wind engineering applications. Herein a passive slot control technique is numerically (LES) investigated. It is shown that the slot flow penetrates in the near-wake region generating a Kelvin–Helmholtz-type instability that mitigates the vortex shedding formation. A more elongated wake bubble associates to drag reduction and the decrease in lateral pressure fluctuations reduces the fluctuating lift coefficient.
