Abstract
In the present paper in order to investigate the possibility of flow control using elastic body, we conduct a simulation of a finite-length flexible cantilever installed in turbulent channel flow. For a flexible cantilever, the rigorous equation of motion for elastic continuum is solved with a finite volume method; the effect of existence of cylinder in the flow computation is taken into account using the immersed boundary method.From time averaged quantities, we demonstrate that the flexible cantilever markedly modulates the wake structure and heat transfer characteristic.
