Abstract:
1. A streamlined body for influencing flow dynamics of at least one of a flowing fluid or of particles carried by a flowing fluid, comprising: a body shaped as a solid of revolution of an upper profile of an airplane wing profile, the upper profile being defined by a continuously convex curve from a front stagnation point of the airplane wing to a rear stagnation point of the airplane wing, and a profile chord extending from the front stagnation point to the rear stagnation point; the solid of revolution formed by rotating the upper profile about a central axis coinciding with the profile chord such that the solid of revolution forms a substantially blunt first end at the front stagnation point and a pointed second end at the rear stagnation point.
