Summary:

      

      

      

      

      In the tandem arrangement, two circular, circular-square and square-circular configurations have been investigated. The variation of the flow structure and the characteristics of transition flow structure were obtained. For every case, it is seen that the variations in flow type occur different distances between two bodies and there is a strong difference between flow characteristics. Especially, in the flow structures, shear layer separated from front model and reattaches on the rear model, drag forces on the bodies have been decreased.

      

      

Key words : Bluff Body Aerodynamics, Vortex Shedding, Flow Separation, Shear Layer Reattachment
