- Abstract
Circular cylinder with attached rigid bilateral plates is the most recent approach to suppress vortex shedding passively, especially in applications like landing gear of an aero plane. In this research, attached rigid bilateral splitter plates each having length equal to diameter of circular cylinder have been numerically and experimentally explored from Reynolds Number 4 5 4.78x10 to 1.35x10 in sub-critical regime. The flow has been simulated by employing URAN SST k-ω model and the results are benchmarked against experimental values of Co-efficient of Drag (Cd). Vortex shedding suppression has been quantified in terms of Strouhal Number (St). The results of this research in terms of Cd and St for applications like landing gear of aero plane are lower than that of bare circular cylinder.
