Abstract

Normal flow past flat plates at high Reynolds numbers appears in various engineering contexts. To accurately model such flows for slender plates in Computational Fluid Dynamics requires scale-resolving rather than scale-modelling methods. The present paper uses Detached-Eddy Simulation to investigate the influence of plate corner curvature on global flow quantities such as the time-averaged drag coefficient. The effect of corner curvature is mapped and collated with the literature. Solution verification is carried out to quantify the numerical uncertainty. The time-averaged drag coefficient increases significantly between semi-cylindrically rounded (γ€ˆπΆγ€‰=2.28) and sharp-cornered (γ€ˆπΆγ€‰=2.42) plates.
