In the present study, new drag reduction techniques applied to aerodynamic structures have been developed. The test cases have been numerically performed using three simplified models. Simulations have been performed by using the CFD software Ansys fluent. The first case deals with a laminar flow over a flat plate. Drag reduction is obtained by corrugating the shape of the plate. The second case treats a laminar flow over a NACA 0012 airfoil. By the addition of a device fixed on the flow separation point, the drag could be reduced. The last case concerns a turbulent flow over the Ahmed body. Drag reduction is obtained by the perforation of a conduit leading a part of the flow from the front to be injected at the rear of the body.
Key words: Simplified models / drag reduction / flat plate / NACA 0012 / Ahmed body
