The effects of yaw angle on wake characteristics a stationary square cylinder were investigated in terms the hydrodynamic forces, vortex shedding frequency, and vortical structures using direct numerical simulations (DNS) at Reynolds number 1000. In total, four angles, namely, ? = 0°, 15°, 30°, 45°, considered. three-dimensional (3D) Navier–Stokes equations solved directly finite volume method ...
