Abstract:
This paper deals with the analysis of fluid flow around bluff bodies using computational fluid dynamics. Two-dimensional rectangular body, semi-circular tip, triangular tip and elliptical nose cone shapes have been considered in the paper. The shapes are analyzed at various Mach numbers, ranging from Mach 1.5 to Mach 10. The aerodynamic characteristics like Drag coefficient and drag force are investigated. Also, the formation of shock wave at higher flow regimes and its effects on the velocity and pressure are observed and analyzed.
