Abstract:
The aim of the present study is to find computationally the optimum parameters that affect the drag reduction of bluff bodies using a small object (obstacle). These parameters include the size of the obstacle as well as the gap between the obstacle and the bluff body. Two- and three-dimensional bodies were investigated in turbulent flow fields. The research was focused on the cases of the rectangular-section obstacle. Four values of the obstacle size were studied, namely: 4\%, 10\%, 35\%, and 100\% of the size of the bluff body. The effect of the obstacle on the thermal field of the two-dimensional body was also studied. Comparisons were carried out with the available experimental measurements. A proposed neuro-fuzzy approach was used to predict the drag reduction of the entire system. Results showed that system drag reductions up to 62\% (two-dimensional flows) and 48\% (three-dimensional flows) can be obtained. Also, enhancement of the body cooling up to 75\% (two-dimensional flows) may be achieved. Generally, useful comments and suggestions are stated.
