Effect of pitching splitter plate on the wake topology and drag reduction of two square cylinders in tandem arrangement
An active flow control mechanism using a hinged splitter plate is explored to modify wake topology and reduce drag of tandem square cylinders (TSCs) at pitch ratio of G/D = 6 and Reynolds Number Re = 100, where G represents the centre-to-centre spacing between cylinders of length D. The rigid plate is hinged at the midpoint of the upstream cylinder's rear face (HSPU). The governing parameters are pitching amplitudes ( = 10°–20°), non-dimensional frequencies ( = 0.1 − 0.4), and length = 0–1) of the plate, which significantly affects wake structures, nature of vortex-interactions, pressure distribution, aerodynamic forces, power consumption, and effectiveness of drag reduction. Here, and A are the pitching frequency and total excursion of the tail end of the plate, respectively. The free-stream velocity is U. Four distinct flow regimes are identified for the TSC-HSPU setup. Type – I involves von Karman vortex shedding, where the upstream cylinder vortex (UCV) dominates over the plate vortex (PV) in the cylinder gap region. For Type – II, bigger and stronger PVs induce a chain-like vortex pattern. In Type – III, PVs become sufficiently strong to inhibit UCVs shedding. In Type − IV, the strongest PVs interact with UCVs and generate a new vortex that dominates the cylinder gap region. Notably, Type − II and Type − III regimes yield lower drag. In comparison to TSC, the highest drag reduction of the TSC-HSPU setup is 47 %, obtained at = 1.00, = 0.20, and = 10°.
