Abstract
Measurements are presented of the mean and fluctuating pressure field acting on a two-dimensional square cylinder in uniform and turbulent flows. The addition of turbulence to the flow is shown to raise the base pressure and reduce the drag of the body. It is suggested that this is attributable to the manner in which the increased turbulence intensity thickens the shear layers, which causes them to be deflected by the downstream corners of the body and results in the downstream movement of the vortex formation region. The strength of the vortex shedding is shown to be reduced as the intensity of the incident turbulence is increased.
