A Volumetric Approach to Wake Reduction: Design, Optimization, and Experimental Verification

(a) View of the mesh used in the study. The cloak domain was mapped with 15 elements in the larger, inner annular thickness, 8 elements in the smaller, thinner annulus, and 100 elements along the half-circumference of the sphere cross section. This creates a total of 2300 elements. (b) View of a coarser mesh for comparison. The cloak domain was mapped with 12 elements in the larger, inner annular thickness, 5 elements in the smaller, thinner annulus, and 70 elements along the half-circumference of the sphere cross section. This creates a total of 1330 elements, cutting 570 from the model.
