..., skyscrapers, nuclear fuel rods and electrical transmission lines, are widely used in daily life. Vortex shedding in fluid mechanics is defined as a periodic separation of the rotating fluid flow behind a structure that produces aerodynamic forces. The flow around a single circular or square body exhibits...

...S.Z. Shuja; B.S. Yilbas; M.O. Budair The vortex shedding from a rectangular cylinder improves the heat transfer rates. Introducing a ground effect in such a flow system alters the shedding frequency, which in turn enables to vary the cooling rates of the cylinder. In the present study a laminar...

... formulation. The vortex shedding process is simulated and the effect of splitter addition on the time period of shedding is studied at a Reynolds number of 200 and a blockage ratio of 0.25. The effect of splitter and the Strouhal number and heat transfer augmentation per unit pressure drop has been...

...LISA M. LING; BALASUBRAMANIAM RAMASWAMY; RUBEN D. COHEN; TSWEN‐CHYUAN JUE The effects of normal surface suction and blowing on the Strouhal frequencies in vortex shedding over porous square cylinders was analysed numerically. The general characteristics determined were (1) an initial increase...
