Abstract :The effects of a perforated cylinder on the passive flow control around a circular cylinder mounted on a wall were investigated. The perforated cylinder was placed outside of the single circular cylinder concentrically. The large-eddy simulation was used to resolve the flow field. The study was aimed at both reducing the drag coefficient of the single cylinder and controlling the fluctuating forces acting on the single cylinder caused by vortex shedding in the downstream wake. The results showed that the structure of the downstream wake flow of the single cylinder changed significantly after placing the perforated cylinder. For example, von Karman vortices disappeared, and the maximum magnitude of turbulent kinetic energy, TKE, in the downstream wake was reduced. The time-averaged drag coefficient of the single cylinder was decreased by 69%. In addition, the maximum value of the lift coefficient of the single cylinder was reduced by eight times when the perforated cylinder was placed outside the single cylinder.
