Study On The Flow Characteristic On A Bluff Body Around Circular Cylinder

Bluff bodies have large dynamics drag and lift resulting from separation of the flow around the body. A large numbers of studies concerned in bluff bodies in flow. Previous researches has been discussed about the study on the effect of turning angle on drag and lift forces for various cut angles on spheres and also flow Characteristics of a bluff body cut from a circular cylinder. However, both of the studies are using experimental as an approach to get the result about drag force, lift force and separation angle. As for this research, numerical study using Gambit and Fluent will be used to get the drag and lift coefficient and to be compared as a discussion.
