A study on the effect of upstream square blockage of a rotating cylinder

A study on the effect of upstream square blockage of a rotating cylinder

A study on the effect of allocating a square blockage in front of a rotating cylinder is presented. The aim of the study is to determine the optimum design of the blockage to enhance the lift generating performance of the rotating cylinder. A numerical simulation is carried out to investigate the ef...
