Net drag reduction in high block coefficient ships and vehicles
We document experimentally at model scale net viscous drag reduction of at least 7.5% in streamlined hulls with high block coefficient, potentially applicable to bulk carriers and tankers, using wedge

MIT researchers demonstrate ship hull modifications to cut fuel use
Researchers at MIT have demonstrated that wedge-shaped vortex generators attached to a ship''s hull can reduce drag by up to 7.5 percent, which reduces overall ship emissions and fuel

AERODYNAMIC ANALYSIS ON A CAR TO REDUCE DRAG
Our project main aim is to reduce aerodynamic drag coefficient by improving the design of a vehicle, which is possible by placing vertex generators at rear top of vehicle.

Numerical and Experimental Study of Vortex Generator
The lift and drag coefficients are measured by using three-component balancing systems. Before conducting the test, the wind tunnel was calibrated to get an accurate reading.

Aerodynamic Drag Reduction of a Car by Vortex Generation
Commonly used on aircraft to prevent flow separation, vortex generators themselves create drag, but they also reduce drag by preventing flow separation at downstream. The overall effect of vortex
