Wall-layer modeling for a Cartesian grid solver is developed by coupling an orthogonal curvilinear grid solver using overset grid interpolation and coupled pressure Poisson solver. A thin wall-layer grid is considered sufficient to resolve the boundary layer. Initial validation is performed for laminar flows over a circular cylinder, where the wall-layer model shows up to 10% improvement in the...

SUMMARY Stetio pressure measurements have been made at subsonic Mach numbers to examine compressibility effects on a two-dimensional circular cylinder with two tangential blowing slots. These results together with forces derived from them are briefly discussecl.

In this paper, two techniques namely Mode Matching technique and Green’s function technique are used to solve analytically the Forward Problem for a finite right circular cylinder. These techniques are compared in terms of analytical derivation and numerical results.

An experimental study was conducted to suppress the unsteady vortex shedding from a circular cylinder by using a traveling wave wall (TWW). The leeward surfaces of the circular cylinder model were replaced by wave surfaces, which can move to form symmetrical TWW when driven by a motor system. The propagation speed of the wave was adjustable by controlling the rotational speed of the motor. Duri...

An experimental study of the turbulent near wake of a rotating circular cylinder was made at a Reynolds number of 2000 for velocity ratios, λ between 0 and 2.7. Particle image velocimetry data are analyzed to study the effects of rotation on the flow structures behind the cylinder. The results indicate that the rotation of the cylinder causes significant changes in the vortex formation. Kármán ...

An integral approach is employed to investigate the effects of blockage on fluid flow and heat transfer from a circular cylinder confined between parallel planes. The integral form of the boundary-layer momentum equation is solved using the modified von Kármán–Pohlhausen method, which uses a fourth-order velocity profile inside the hydrodynamic boundary layer. The potential flow velocity, outsi...
