| Abstract: | Aerodynamic drag reduction is crucial for improving the performance of blunt-bodied vehicles. This study investigates the effect of aero-disks, combined with a spike, on the drag characteristics of a blunt body. Simulations were performed for the baseline geometry and configurations with one and two aero-disks. The computational approach was validated by comparison with data from a previously published study, showing good agreement and confirming the reliability of the results. The introduction of a single aero-disk reduced the drag coefficient from 0.45 (baseline) to 0.30, a 33% decrease, while the addition of a second aero-disk further lowered it to 0.16, achieving an overall 64% reduction. These findings demonstrate that increasing the number of aero-disks significantly modifies the flow field around the blunt body, resulting in enhanced aerodynamic performance. The study provides a quantitative assessment of drag mitigation strategies and offers guidance for the design of high-performance blunt body configurations. |
