The test models used in the present study were two 2D blunt-faced flat plates having asymmetric beveled trailing edges of angles 27° and 60°. The numerical simulation results display an asymmetric wake behind the 27° beveled trailing edge and von karmen street vortices behind the 60° beveled trailing edge. The flow visualization using cavitation technique showed the same observations of the numerical simulation. Therefore, it is obvious that the trailing edge geometry has a pronounced effect on the wake development and vortex shedding. Also, it is concluded that the cavitation phenomenon can be used as a visualization technique at high flow velocities.展开更多

Two plates with spacing ratio of 1.0 and beveled trailing edge of angle 20° were tested at Reynolds numbers equal to 3.97×10^4. The numerical simulation results displayed that the flow separates on one plate beveled trailing edge surface. The vortex formation and shedding from this plate led to deflecting the flow toward the other plate and consequently the wake behind the plates showed an asymmetric development. The photographs obtained from the flow visualization confirmed the numerical results concerning the flow separation and vortex formation. It was also found that the computed pressure distribution on the two plate surfaces was different, particularly on the beveled trailing edge surfaces and on the fiat sides.展开更多
