In this paper, large eddy simulations were used to study passive flow control for drag reduction in a simplified ground vehicle, where add-on devices in the form of short cylinders were used for the formation of streaks in the streamwise direction that lead to the separation delay.Abstract:
Large eddy simulations (LES) are used to study passive flow control for drag reduction in a simplified ground vehicle. Add-on devices in the form of short cylinders are used for the formation of streaks in the streamwise direction that lead to the separation delay. The results of the present numerical simulations are compared with the experimental data and show good agreement. The two-stage flow control mechanism is analyzed from the LES results. It was found to be in agreement with the previous experimental observations that the counter-rotating vortices behind the impinging devices influence the separation only indirectly through the longitudinal vortices further downstream.read more

Simulations of the bi-modal wake past three-dimensional blunt bluff bodies
TL;DR: In this article, the bi-stability of the wake of three-dimensional bluff bodies is simulated using wall-resolved large eddy simulations, and the resulting unsteady flow fields are then analysed, revealing instantaneous topological changes in the wake experiencing bi-modal switching.

General circulation experiments with the primitive equations
TL;DR: In this article, an extended period numerical integration of a baroclinic primitive equation model has been made for the simulation and the study of the dynamics of the atmosphere's general circulation, and the solution corresponding to external gravitational propagation is filtered by requiring the vertically integrated divergence to vanish identically.

Flow around a tall finite cylinder explored by large eddy simulation
TL;DR: In this article, the flow around a finite circular cylinder with a height-to-diameter ratio of 6 was studied using large eddy simulation (LES) and the main recirculation region on the cylinder's top was found to contain one vortex with both legs attached to the top surface, in agreement with some previous investigations.
