Direct numerical simulation of the turbulent flow around a Flettner rotor
Abstract The three-dimensional turbulent flow around a Flettner rotor, i.e. an engine-driven rotating cylinder in an atmospheric boundary layer, is studied via direct numerical simulations (DNS) for three different rotation speeds ( $$\alpha$$ α ). This technology offers a sustainable alternative ma...
