Prediction of Turbulence Statistics Behind a Square Cylinder Using Neural Networks and Fuzzy Logic
Keyword(s):
The Mean
◽
Experiments are carried out behind a square cylinder mounted in the freestream of a wind tunnel, and hot-wire anemometry is used to determine the profiles of the mean and statistical turbulence quantities. Artificial neural networks and fuzzy-logic models successfully predict the statistical quantities like mean velocity profiles and Reynolds stresses. The fuzzy-logic modeling is more convenient to use, is less computationally intensive, and gives a higher correlation coefficient in comparison to the neural network.
