A Novel Semi-Passive Turbulence Enhancement Method: A Flexible Vortex Generator

The turbulence enhancement ability of a flexible vortex generator (FVG) was numerically studied in this research. The spatial and turbulence characteristics of the wake of the FVG that is submerged in a subcritical flow were examined. The FVG’s heat transfer performance was also investigated. In gen...
