- Despite a century of studies on aerodynamics associated with bluff bodies, this paper describes the first ever, systematic experimental investigation of turbulent flow around polygonal cylinders. The fundamental understanding this works brings enables selection of the most appropriate polygonal cylinders for a number of industrial applications e.g. (twisting) pentagon could suppress the flow-induced vibration and hence the fatigue damage on subsea umbilicals and pipelines. It also provides aerodynamic reference for architectural designs of columns and has inspired a new area of research evidenced by a number of numerical studies (Laboratoire de Mécanique, Modélisation et Procédés Propres Aix-Marseille Université, pierre.SAGAUT@univ-amu.fr).
