This study investigates the effect of flow and heat transfer on a square cylinder placed near planar wall. The is assumed to be within boundary layer Five different wall-to-cylinder gap ratios are considered, i.e., G/D = 0.2, 0.6, 1.2, 2, 3. Reynolds number based width fixed at Re 150. In this study, two-dimensional analysis performed for mixed convection under influence aiding opposing buoyancy (−1≤Ri ≤ 1). unsteady governing continuity, momentum, energy equations solved with fully implicit fractional-step method using computer code written in FORTRAN. numerical results have been presented terms characteristics, such as mean drag rms lift coefficients, local Nusselt variations. For qualitative assessment, field temperature distributions also acquired interpret understand underlying physical mechanism because patterns change simultaneously. case pure forced convection, rate 0.2 was about half that 3 case. significant caused by large velocity difference between top front surfaces when plane Additionally, Ri > 0, ratio coefficient Nu decreased.

In the present study, active and passive flow control methods have been implemented to investigate their effects on wake structures of a circular cylinder. Grooves having circular, rectangular, triangular cross sections applied cylinders exposed rotation rates, α, from 0 0.79. The experiments conducted by particle image velocimetry at Reynolds number Re = 5 × 103. contour graphics time-averaged results presented. Moreover, variations in velocity profiles also depicted. experimental revealed significant for patterns, structures, turbulence parameters due both groove geometries rotational motion. stationary cases, intensity, grooved cylinder exhibited 15% increase, while showed slightly higher increase around 20% compared that bare (BC). Conversely, non-stationary rectangular displayed most prominent reduction decreasing approximately 10% BC. type has considerably affected regions, especially lower rates.
