Abstract In order to study the effect of different gap ratios on the thermofluid-dynamic field around a bluff body located in proximity to a heated wall, a series of experiments and numerical simulations have been conducted. The former were carried out using an open circulating water tank experimental platform and a single cylinder and square column as geometrical models (their characteristic length being D). The latter were based on the well-known SIMPLE algorithm for incompressible flow. The results show that the gap ratio is an important factor affecting the wake characteristics of near-wall bluff bodies. When More >
