Abstract

The present study is aimed to reveal macroscopic aerodynamic characteristics of two-dimensional rectangular prisms with three aspect ratios(D/H=1, 2 and 3) and six angles of attack($0^{circ}, 10^{circ}, 13.5^{circ}, 20^{circ}, 30^{circ} and 45^{\circ}$). The Reynolds number is fixed as $1\times10^4$. The SOLA-based revised finite difference method for the conservation form on irregular grid was adopted as a new numerical method. Instantaneous flow patterns at $45^{\circ}$ in case of D/H=2 and D/H=3 show larger asymmetric wake development which is closely related to the sharp decrease of drag coefficients at higher angles of attack range. Vorticity propagation into enlarged wake region is conjectured to be responsible for this phenomenon. The Strouhal number is found to be sensitive to the angle of attack at higher aspect ratios(D/H=2 and 3).
