Abstract
⺠We describe the flow around rectangular bluff bodies at different angles of attack. ⺠We identify a region of angles of attack where the lift remains roughly constant. ⺠The constant-lift region is characterized by three-dimensional (3-D) flow. ⺠We develop an empirical curve fit to predict the constant-lift region. ⺠The empirical curve fit is valuable for modeling and simulation purposes.
