Flow control around a triad of square cylinders placed in proximity via the splitter plates

Key Points

• Flow control significantly enhances the aerodynamic performance around square cylinder triads, leading to improved stability.
• Flow interaction observed with vortex dynamics illustrates the importance of geometric arrangements in fluid mechanics.
• Experimental analysis using flow visualization techniques highlights the influence of splitter plates on cylinder interactions and vortex shedding.
• Results suggest that the use of splitter plates can optimize flow control strategies in engineering applications involving cylindrical structures.
