The last decades have seen an increasing interest in cycling aerodynamics, with the design
of more aerodynamic bicycles and wearable equipment such as helmets and skinsuits and …

Abstract Large-Eddy Simulations were conducted to investigate accelerated flows around a
square cylinder. The study explores flow characteristics for Gaussian-type accelerations of …

We describe the results of a numerical and experimental investigation aimed at assessing
the performance of a control method to delay boundary layer separation consisting of the …

Several bluff bodies in an airflow, such as rectangular cylinders with moderate side ratio, in
particular conditions of mass and damping can experience the interference of vortex …

The so-called Stokes' hypothesis for a Newtonian fluid is reconsidered, and a possible
explanation is given of the fact that, in spite of its evidently weak physical justification, it …

By analysing a set of thunderstorm-induced events acquired on the Italian north-west coast,
the separation of the relevant wind velocity signals into a time-varying mean and a residual …

An extensive experimental campaign has been carried out in a multiple-fan wind tunnel to
study the effects of flow acceleration on a sectional model of a sharp-edged square cylinder …

The influence of the thickness of the boundary layer developing over the surface of an
axisymmetric bluff body upon its base pressure and near-wake flow is analyzed …

The structure of the internal boundary layer above long wind farms is investigated
experimentally. The transfer of kinetic energy from the region above the farm is dominated …

Aerodynamic and pressure coefficients of a sectional model of a sharp-edged square
cylinder, at zero incidence angle, are experimentally evaluated in accelerating flow …
