    THE EFFECT OF ATTACK ANGLE TO VORTEX SHEDDING PHENOMENON OF FLOW AROUND A SQUARE PRISM WITH A FLOW CONTROL ROD
    (TURKISH SOC THERMAL SCIENCES TECHNOLOGY, 2011) Akansu, Yahya Erkan; Ozmert, Mehmet; Firat, Erhan
    In this study, the effect of attack angle on vortex shedding phenomena in the case of flow around the square prism as a bluff body and the circular rod which used as flow control component was experimentally investigated. While the value of attack angle equal to 0 degrees, the upstream control rod and square prism are in tandem arrangement to free stream. Experiments were conducted at Reynolds number of 1.0 x 10(4), for the diameter ratio of d/D=0.25, the attack angle between 0 degrees <= alpha <= 90 degrees, and the value of normalized distance between two prism LID is 1, 2, 3, and 4. The velocity measurements were conducted by means of constant temperature anemometer (CTA) as well as vortex shedding frequencies obtained by the spectral analysis of velocity-time history. Characteristics of the vortex formation region and location of flow attachments, reattachments, and separations were observed by means of the smoke-wire flow visualizations. At the angle of attack 0 degrees of the location L/D=2 and 3, the flow structure that possess high vorex shedding frequency which causes remarkable reductions on the drag force and significant increase in the heat transfer was obtained. This flow structure continous to decrease with increasing attack angle up to around 10 degrees. By further increasing of attack angle, the effect of flow control rod on vortex shedding frequency disappears completely.
