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...

Identifying the Stationary Viscous Flows Around a Circular Cylinder at High Reynolds Numbers

We propose an approach to identifying the solutions of the steady incompressible Navier-Stokes equations for high Reynolds numbers. These cannot be obtained as initial-value problems for the unsteady system because of the loss of stability of the latter. Our approach consists in replacing the original steady-state problem for the Navier-Stokes equations by a boundary value problem for the Euler...

Viscous Flow at High Reynolds Numbers

Let us first give a heuristic estimates of boundary layer in steady flows. Consider a particle near the wall to be influenced by viscosity. After traveling a distance x from the edge, it has been under viscous influence for a time of t = x/U . Let U be large. For finite x, t is small so that vorticity is spread sideways to the width (νt) ∼ (νx/U). Let us define this width to be the boundary lay...

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...
