This makes the cam-shaped cylinder a better performer than the circular cylinder. This work is an extension of past work with the aim of further reducing drag by attaching a backward splitter plate to a cam-shaped cylinder. In an attempt to decrease drag and regulate the wake regime more efficiently than the traditional splitter plate control devices, a splitter plate flow departure control device is presented in this paper for a low Reynolds number flow range (Re = 50\u2013200). It has been noted that when plate length increases, integral parameters like drag, lift, and Strouhal number do not change monotonically. The Strouhal number (St) increases with a drop in D2\/Deq, but the average drag reduces with a rise in Re and a decrease in D2\/Deq, respectively. In terms of decreased drag, the current cam-shaped cylinders attached to a rearward splitter plate have shown their superiority to other bluff bodies.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/computation11100196","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,10,3]],"date-time":"2023-10-03T07:28:29Z","timestamp":1696318109000},"page":"196","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Numerical Methodology to Reduce the Drag and Control Flow around a Cam-Shaped Cylinder Integrated with Backward Splitter Plate"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"11","author":[{"given":"Sunil","family":"Chamoli","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mechanical Engineering, Govind Ballabh Pant Institute of Engineering & Technology, Pauri Garhwal 246194, Uttarakhand, India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Amit","family":"Joshi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mechanical Engineering, Govind Ballabh Pant Institute of Engineering & Technology, Pauri Garhwal 246194, Uttarakhand, India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sumit","family":"Rana","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mechanical Engineering, Govind Ballabh Pant Institute of Engineering & Technology, Pauri Garhwal 246194, Uttarakhand, India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Suvanjan","family":"Bhattacharaya","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mechanical Engineering, BITS Pilani, Pilani 333031, Rajasthan, India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ashutosh","family":"Gupta","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mechanical Engineering, Govind Ballabh Pant Institute of Engineering & Technology, Pauri Garhwal 246194, Uttarakhand, India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Siddharth","family":"Ghansela","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mechanical Engineering, Govind Ballabh Pant Institute of Engineering & Technology, Pauri Garhwal 246194, Uttarakhand, India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Chinaruk","family":"Thianpong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Engineering, King Mongkut\u2019s Institute of Technology Ladkrabang, Bangkok 15020, Thailand"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3529-9199","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Smith","family":"Eiamsa-ard","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mechanical Engineering, School of Engineering and Industrial Technology, Mahanakorn University of Technology, Bangkok 15030, Thailand"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,10,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1147","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijheatmasstransfer.2018.11.057","article-title":"Effect of shape modification on heat transfer and drag for fluid flow past a cam-shaped cylinder","volume":"131","author":"Chamoli","year":"2019","journal-title":"Int.
