Abstract
This paper utilises flags to decrease the drag around a short finite circular cylinder. Wall-adapted large eddy simulation and two-way fluid–structure interaction methods were applied to resolve unsteady turbulent flow structure. The far-field Reynolds number of the current configuration based on the cylinder diameter was chosen to be 20,000. In addition, the length-to-diameter ratio of the cylinder was assumed to be L/D = 2 whereas the flexible flag had a width-to-diameter ratio of W/D = 1.5. The results were compared with the regular short finite circular cylinder and the rigid flagged cylinder in our previous work. The results indicate that utilising flags inside the near-wake region of...
