Problem definition
All equations have been solved in non-dimensional form with d as the length
and as the velocity scales. A time scale is defined from these two and the
pressure is non-dimensionalized by
.
For the dynamic problem, a novel genetic algorithm based optimization
technique has been used, where solutions of Navier-Stokes equations are
obtained using small time-horizons at every step of the optimization process,
called a GA generation. The objective function is evaluated, followed by GA
determined improvement of decision variables.

Summary of results
Ability of the numerical method for DNS of bluff body flows by twodimensional flow models has been testified.
A large drag reduction has been achieved, by shear release mechanism on one
side of the cylinder, at comparatively low Reynolds number (Re = 1000).
