Flows past bluff bodies are encountered in many engineering applications. The bluff body situated in the flow experience a significant amount of pressure drag force. Therefore, it is important to predict flow conditions around bluff bodies when designing bridges, platforms, pipelines near seabed, offshore structures, and hydropower systems. In several engineering applications, structures could often be placed near surfaces. Transient flows past rectangular plates in the vicinity of surfaces are investigated in this study.
