Flow control over a circular cylinder using virtual moving surface boundary layer control

Boundary layer flow beneath a uniform free stream permeable continuous moving surface in a nanofluid

The main purpose of this paper is to introduce a boundary layer analysis for the fluid flow andheat transfer characteristics of an incompressible nanofluid flowing over a permeable isothermalsurface moving continuously. The resulting system of non-linear ordinary differential equations issolved numerically using the fifth–order Runge–Kutta method with shooting techniques usingMatlab and Maple s...

Control of Flow Separation over a Circular Cylinder Using Electro-Magnetic Fields: Numerical Simulation

Control of flow over a cylinder using rotational oscillations

In this work, we focus on two-dimensional, incompressible viscous channel flow over an infinitely long cylinder and examine the effect of controlled rotational cylinder oscillation in reducing the drag exerted on the cylinder. Based on an analysis of the open-loop simulations, a control system is designed that automatically determines the frequency of cylinder oscillation, based on the Reynolds...

Passive jet control of flow around a circular cylinder

and suppressing fluctuating amplitude of the dynamic wind loads acting on the test model. With 24 suction/jet holes evenly distributed over the cylindrical test model (i.e., the N13 design of the present study), the passive jet control method was found to be able to achieve up to 33.7 % in drag reduction and 90.6 % in fluctuating wind loading suppression, in comparison with the baseline case. T...

A proportional-integral-differential control of flow over a circular cylinder.

In the present study, we apply proportional (P), proportional-integral (PI) and proportional-differential (PD) feedback controls to flow over a circular cylinder at Re=60 and 100 for suppression of vortex shedding in the wake. The transverse velocity at a centreline location in the wake is measured and used for the feedback control. The actuation (blowing/suction) is provided to the flow at the...
