English Abstract

In the present investigation, we tested the effects of various cavities on the base drag and wake of a two-dimensional bluff body. The bluff body model has a blunt base and an elliptical leading edge of semimajor to semiminor axis ratio of 8:1. Different lengths and shapes of cavities were attached to the blunt base of the bluff body. Experiments were conducted in the 1×1 m2 wind tunnel of the Department of Aerospace Engineering at KFUPM at a Reynolds number ( Reh ) of 2.6x104. Steady and unsteady base pressure measurements, force measurements as well as Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) measurements were conducted to study the flow properties. The steady base pressure measurements show that base pressure increases with the attachment of the cavities. The increase was from -0.58 for the base model to -0.52 with 1/6 h cavity, -0.31 with 1/3 h cavity, -0.42 for 2/3 h cavity and -0.46 for angled cavity. The drag-force measurements show that the highest drag reduction is obtained by using 1/3 h cavity ( Cd ~ 0.35 ) compared to the base model ( Cd ~ 0.58 ) followed by 2/3 h cavity ( Cd ~ 0.43 ), angled cavity ( Cd ~ 0.48 ), 1/6 h cavity ( Cd ~ 0.52 ) and closed-C cavity ( Cd ~ 0.54 ). The unsteady base pressure measurements show a dominating peak at a frequency of 11 Hz corresponding to a Strouhal number of 0.07. The frequency of this peak was not altered by cavities, but the energy of the peak increased. The mean velocity fields obtained by using PIV show two recirculation regions behind the base model and cavities. The lengths of the recirculation region were not altered much with the attachment of the cavities.
