Surface-roughness effects on the mean flow past circular cylinders

the effects of changing roughness on the flow structure in the bends

flow in natural river bends is a complex and turbulent phenomenon which affects the scour and sedimentations and causes an irregular bed topography on the bed. for the reason, the flow hydralics and the parameters which affect the flow to be studied and understand. in this study the effect of bed and wall roughness using the software fluent discussed in a sharp 90-degree flume bend with 40.3cm ...

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...

Effect of Crest Roughness on Flow Characteristics over Circular Weirs

Different construction materials with different roughness used to make circular weirs highly affect surface roughness and, in turn, flow hydraulics passing over these structures.  In the present research, numerous experiments under different hydraulic conditions were performed on a physical model to study the effects of roughness on flow hydraulics over a circular weir. The flow hydraulics incl...

From spheres to circular cylinders: non-axisymmetric transitions in the flow past rings

Non-axisymmetric simulations verify and extend the results from a previous linear Floquet stability analysis of the wakes of rings. The wakes corresponding to the saturated state of each predicted non-axisymmetric instability mode over the entire aspect ratio range are successfully computed, and isosurface plots are presented elucidating the vortical wake structures. The existence of three non-...
