Abstract

In Tian and Wu (2009), the present authors studied the inviscid and viscous flow past polygons with an arbitrary but even number of edges and with one apex pointing to the free stream. Here we extend the results to the flow past polygons with an odd number of edges, and an arbitrary direction. Flow features such as the shape of stationary lines, stabilities of vortex pairs, 1st critical Reynolds numbers, and flow patterns with separations, similar to or different from the results for even-sided polygons, are identified.
