Computational Fluid Dynamics for Flow around a Circular Cylinder in the Critical Reynolds Number Regime

Discrete vortex simulation of the separated flow around a rotating circular cylinder at high Reynolds number

The separated flow around a rotating circular cylinder is investigated by the discrete vortex method combined with the boundary layer theory. The Keller Box method is used to solve the laminar boundary layer in order to determine the separation points on the upper and the lower sides of the rotating circular cylinder. The nascent vortices are then introduced near the separation points. A discre...

Drag and Pressure Fields for the Mhd Flow around a Circular Cylinder at Intermediate Reynolds Numbers

Steady incompressible flow around a circular cylinder in an external magnetic field that is aligned with fluid flow direction is studied for Re (Reynolds number) up to 40 and the interaction parameter in the range 0 ≤N ≤ 15 (or 0 ≤M ≤ 30), where M is the Hartmann number related to N by the relation M = √2N Re, using finite difference method. The pressure-Poisson equation is solved to find press...

Investigation of Drag Coefficient at Subcritical and Critical Reynolds Number Region for Circular Cylinder with Helical Grooves

Drag reduction of an object is the major concern in many engineering applications. Experimental studies have been carried out on circular cylinder with helical grooves in a subsonic wind tunnel. Different cases of helical grooves with different pitches, helical groove angles and number of starts of helical groove on circular cylinder are tested. Experimental results show the drag coefficient is...

numerical investigation of transient laminar flow of a giesekus viscoelastic fluid around a circular cylinder

in this paper, the transient inertial viscoelastic flow around a circular cylinder is investigated numerically. a second order finite-volume method is used to increase the numerical accuracy. here, the giesekus model is used as the constitutive equation. this nonlinear model has prominent ability in describing normal stress differences and viscosity in power-law regions. the impacts of the elas...
