When electrical loads are predominantly linear, a simple shunt capacitor willgenerally be sufficient to improve the power factor.

A 3D computer model of the shapes was created using theSolidWorks software package. A SolidWorks embedded CFD flow analysis tool was used tosimulate the flow profiles around the shapes. A mold for physical models of the various shapeswas fabricated with a 3D printer using ABS plastic and a subscale test article of each shape wasmade from a silicone elastomer. Subscale tests were conducted using Particle Image Velocimetrytechniques. The university students showed the school children the results of their project on areturn trip to the schools.In order to
