Abstract
The mean flow field, aerodynamic forces, bending moment and Strouhal number (St) were investigated for isolated surface-mounted finite-height square prisms of very small aspect ratio (AR). The Reynolds number was Re =7.5×104 for the velocity measurements and 9×104 for the force, bending moment and St measurements. Prisms with AR = 0.5, 0.7 and 1 were considered, under two different boundary layer thicknesses of δ/D=0.7–0.8 (thin) and δ/D=1.3 (thick). For both boundary layers, the mean drag force coefficient showed a sharper increase with AR compared with taller prisms, and the mean normal force coefficient increased smoothly, with a lower magnitude than pressure-based normal force coefficients. An approximately constant point of action of the drag force was found for AR < 1. While the thick boundary layer caused the spectral peaks to weaken and St to decrease, some periodicity was still found for all AR. These features were connected to the changes in the mean wake of the prisms with AR and δ/D. A smaller AR and larger δ/D had similar effects, causing the wake to shorten, the probability and type of reattachment of the flow on the free end to change, and the mean wake structure to transition from a streamwise wake vorticity pattern to an inner vorticity pattern. The prism with AR = 1 showed a dipole wake structure similar to that of taller prisms, while the unique wake topology of prisms with AR < 1 was found to be responsible for the different force and St trends identified in this range of AR.

Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
