Numerical simulation of three-dimensional flow around two circular cylinders in tandem arrangement

Three-dimensional fluid flow around two circular cylinders in tandem arrangement is computed by the finite difference method without a turbulence model. The overlapped grid technique is employed to catch the flow interference between the two tandem cylinders. It is confirmed that the abrupt numerical change of drag coefficients and the Strouhal number is in good agreement with the previous expe...

Flow past two tandem circular cylinders using Spectral element method

In this paper, flow past around two circular cylinders which are tandem arranged at a Reynolds number of 200 is numerically investigated by spectral element method. To validate the numerical method for incompressible Navier–Stokes equations, the benchmark problem of flow over a single circular cylinder is employed, with the numerical results in a good agreement with the available literatures. T...

Yield drag in a two-dimensional foam flow around a circular obstacle: effect of liquid fraction.

We study the two-dimensional flow of foams around a circular obstacle within a long channel. In experiments, we confine the foam between liquid and glass surfaces. In simulations, we use a deterministic software, the Surface Evolver, for bubble details and a stochastic one, the extended Potts model, for statistics. We adopt a coherent definition of liquid fraction for all studied systems. We va...

Two-dimensional flow of foam around a circular obstacle: local measurements of elasticity, plasticity and flow

Abstract We investigate the two-dimensional flow of a liquid foam around circular obstacles by measuring all the local fields necessary to describe this flow: velocity, pressure, bubble deformations and rearrangements. We show how our experimental setup, a quasi-2D ”liquid pool” system, is adapted to the determination of these fields: the velocity and bubble deformations are easy to measure fro...
