Passive flow control around circular cylinder with uniform and non-uniform perforated shroud cylinder / Mohamad Faiz Osrin

The flow pass through a cylinder body is a common practice in engineering application. The effect of flow over the body will give results to structural vibration. Thus, the objective of this research is to reduce or suppress the lift and drag coefficient on the cylinder body using perforated shroud...
