Journal ArticleDOI
Low-Reynolds-number wakes of elliptical cylinders: from the circular cylinder to the normal flat plate
TL;DR: In this article, the Strouhal number and drag coefficient variations with Reynolds number are documented for the two-dimensional shedding regime for elliptic cylinders, and different three-dimensional transition modes are also examined using Floquet stability analysis based on computed 2D periodic base flows.
Journal ArticleDOI
A review of rotating cylinder wake transitions
Anirudh Narayan Rao,Alexander Radi,Justin Scott Leontini,Mark C. Thompson,John Sheridan,Kerry Hourigan,Kerry Hourigan +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, two steady states, steady state I and steady state II, are identified based on the physical characteristics of the wake and the drag force on the body, and the curves of marginal stability are presented, followed by a comparison of numerical simulations to their experimentally obtained counterparts.
Journal ArticleDOI
The flow past a circular cylinder translating at different heights above a wall
TL;DR: In this paper, the flow past a circular cylinder moving through a fluid at different heights above a plane no-slip boundary is investigated numerically for Reynolds numbers ≤ 200, and the critical Reynolds numbers for each case are determined as a function of gap height.
Journal ArticleDOI
Three-dimensionality in the wake of a rotating cylinder in a uniform flow
TL;DR: In this paper, the wake of a rotating circular cylinder in a free stream is investigated for Reynolds numbers Re6 400 and non-dimensional rotation rates of 6 2:5, and the transition from a steady flow to unsteady flow characterized by periodic vortex shedding is considered.
Journal ArticleDOI
Flows past rotating cylinders next to a wall
TL;DR: In this article, two-dimensional simulations are used to investigate the flow past rotating circular cylinders near a wall in the low Reynolds number regime, and linear stability analysis is used to determine the onset of three-dimensionalality in the wake.
