  1. Effect of Flow over a CylinderMAE 5130 Viscous FlowFinal Project By Shreya Raje

  2. Introduction • Formation of wake • Vortex Shedding

  3. Objective • To find the effect of flow over a cylinder in terms of following parameters: • Pressure • Velocity • Vorticity

  4. Approach For this a two dimensional circular cylinder is drawn along with the direction of flow field perpendicular to its axis in gambit. Flow Field Inlet Velocity Cylinder Pressure Outlet Wall Periodic

  5. Meshing

  6. Parameters for Calculations for Laminar Flow • An unsteady flow condition was selected to compute the parameters. • Consider Flow Field to be Water • Velocity (U) 0.5024 m/s • Density (ρ) 998.2 kg/cubic m • Kinematic Viscosity (µ) 0.001003 kg/m-s • Cylinder Diameter (D) 0.25m • Area of each Cylinder (A) 0.5 sq m • Renolds number (Re) = (UxDxρ)/µ =2.5x105

  7. To see the effect of vortex shedding the frequency is calculated with Strouhal Number as 0.2 Strouhal Number, St= fxD/U f=0.20096 hz Cycle time,t=1/f=4.976sec time step size=4.976/25 =0.199sec Parameters for Calculations for Laminar Flow
