Co-authored with Dr. Mohammad Saud Afzal, Associate Professor, IIT Kharagpur, the paper investigates the influence of rear-base curvature on fluid forces, vortex shedding and wake characteristics of bluff bodies using computational fluid dynamics. The study contributes to a better understanding of complex flow behaviour and its implications for hydrodynamic engineering applications.
