Turbulence Characteristics behind a Flexible Vortex Generator
Authors: , , ,
Abstract: This paper computationally studied the turbulence characteristics of the wake behind a free-oscillating flexible vortex generator (FVG) by investigating the shear rate around the FVG using Fluid-Structural Interaction (FSI) simulation of RANS (SST) k-w model. Two vortex generators are considered in this study; a circular and a flat plate cantilever. Each vortex generator was submerged individually in a sub-critical flow (102
