Abstract
An experimental investigation was conducted on the ow elds behind various hemisphereon-cylinder turret geometries in subsonic ow. The e ects that geometric modi cations had on the baseline ow eld were characterized to determine which designs, if any, demonstrate potential as passive ow control mechanisms. Qualitative results were obtained for each turret model using a pulse burst laser to perform three-dimensional ow visualization. Additional, quantitative measurements along the wake centerline for each design were made via planar particle image velocimetry (PIV). The results of each modi ed ow eld are presented with the baseline case for comparison. Suggested future work is also given for those designs showing the most promise as passive ow control devices.
