| Summary: | Experimental results of passive drag reduction are
presented for the case of a two-dimensional cylinder.
Measurements of the wake velocity profile of the cylinder were
performed using a pitot-static tube. Tabs were mounted on the
cylinder. Tab spacing, size and tab angle were varied. Twodimensional drag was computed using the measured velocities
and applying the integral momentum theorem. Results show a
significant reduction in drag |
