Numerical simulation of laminar flow past a circular cylinder

TL;DR: In this article, an implicit pressure-based finite volume method is used for time-accurate computation of incompressible flow using second order accurate convective flux discretisation schemes, which is validated against measurement data for mean surface pressure, skin friction coefficients, the size and strength of the recirculating wake for the steady flow regime and also for the Strouhal frequency of vortex shedding and the mean and RMS amplitude of the fluctuating aerodynamic coefficients for the unsteady periodic flow regime.

LES of Flow past Circular Cylinder at Re = 3900

TL;DR: In this article, transition flow past a circular cylinder in the lower subcritical regime (Re = 3900) has been analyzed using Large Eddy Simulation (LES) coupled to Smagorinsky and dynamic sub grid scale models.

On the Reliability of Eddy Viscosity Based Turbulence Models in Predicting Turbulent Flow past a Circular Cylinder Using URANS Approach

TL;DR: In this article, a second-order time accurate pressure-based finite volume method was used to predict the Drag Crisis, usually manifested in reliable measurement data, as a sharp drop in the mean drag coefficient around a critical Reynolds number.

Laminar flow past a circular cylinder at reynolds number varying from 50 to 5000

TL;DR: In this paper, a flow solution algorithm employing non-orthogonal boundary-fitted curvilinear grid with collocated variable arrangement coupled with low diffusive second-order accurate schemes for discretisation of the nonlinear convective fluxes and 2nd order accurate temporal discretization schemes is presented.

CFD Simulation of Flow Past MAV Wings

TL;DR: Turbulent flow simulation past low aspect ratio (AR) thin wings used for two different MAV (Micro Air Vehicle) configurations viz Black Kite and Golden Hawk have been carried out in order to analyze their aerodynamic characteristics as discussed by the authors.
