A Review Study on Fluid Flow Past Bluff Bodies of Various Cross-Section Placed In Different Configurations

Abstract

The work done by various researchers in the field of fluid flow past bluff bodies having different cross-sections and placed in various configurations is reviewed in this paper. A comparison of the various results is also discussed in this paper in a tabulated form, as well as with the help of graphs between different flow parameters. This paper will surely be helpful for the new investigators working in the field of fluid-structure interactions to capture the vital data and information for continuing their investigation in this field. Flow patterns for fluid flow over bluff bodies at various Reynold numbers, spacing ratios, angle of attack, is also presented with the help of comparison of different contours available with help of ANSYS CFD simulations. Both experimental and numerical simulations work done in the past is analyzed and segregated in this paper. This paper focus on comparison for different cross-section bluff bodies placed in various configurations with the help of tables, graphs, charts etc., to help innovative new researchers to continue their research work with the help of past twenty years research work data and information available in a single paper. © 2024 Nova Science Publishers, Inc.
