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

چکیده
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 experimental results.

Numerical Simulation of Two- Dimensional Complex Flows around Bluff Bodies Using the Immersed Boundary Method
This paper presents a two-dimensional numerical simulation of flows around different bluff bodies, at Re = 100 and 200, using the Immersed Boundary (IB) method, as a sequence of a previous work. The force density term required by the IB method is obtained with the Virtual Physical Model (VPM). Simulations were carried out for two circular cylinders of different diameter in tandem, two cylinders...
متن کاملSimulation of Premixed Combustion Flow around Circular Cylinder using Hybrid Random Vortex
This research describes the unsteady two-dimensional reacting flows around a circular cylinder. The numerical solution combines the random vortex method for incompressible two-dimensional viscous fluid flow with a Simple Line Interface Calculation (SLIC) algorithm for the propagation of flame interface. To simplify the governing equations, two fundamental assumptions namely Low Mach Number and ...

For a Czochralski growth of Ge crystal, thermal fields have been analysed numerically using the three-dimensional finite volume method (FLUENT package). The arrangement used in a real Czochralski crystal growth lab included a graphite crucible, heat shield, heating device, thermal insulation and chamber including two gas outlets. We have considered two cases for calculations, which are configur...
متن کاملNumerical simulation of vortex-induced vibration of two long flexible circular cylinders in tandem
A quasi three-dimensional numerical model is developed to study vortex-induced vibration (VIV) of two tandem flexible circular cylinders. In this model, the whole cylinder is divided into many sections along its length. The hydrodynamics of each section are represented by the solution of the two-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations. The dynamic response of the flexible cylinder is predicted by t...
متن کاملNumerical investigation on the effects of six control rods arranged in equilateral triangular configurations on fluid flow and forced convection heat transfer from a circular cylinder
The present work deals with heat transfer characteristics as well as fluid flow patterns in laminar flow regime for a circular cylinder with six control rods arranged in equilateral triangular geometries. The computations have been carried out by a finite volume approach using the overset grid method. The unsteady flow at Re= 200 and Pr= 0.7 and 7.0 was examined. The effect of the control rods ...
