Effect of wall confinement on the aerodynamics of bluff bodies

The effect of wall confinement on the aerodynamics of a set of stationary circular cylinders and flat plates, representing the blockage ratio range of 3 - 35.5%, is investigated experimentally to obtain data on mean and unsteady pressure distributions, Strouhal number, and wake geometry. In general,...
