Experimental and numerical studies of the flow over a circular cylinder at Reynolds number 3900
TLDR
In this paper, the authors investigated the flow over a circular cylinder at Reynolds number Re=3900 with a large eddy simulation and experimentally with hot-wire anemometry and particle image velocimetry.Abstract:
This work contributes to the study of flow over a circular cylinder at Reynolds number Re=3900. Although this classical flow is widely documented in the literature, especially for this precise Reynolds number that leads to a subcritical flow regime, there is no consensus about the turbulence statistics immediately just behind the obstacle. Here, the flow is investigated both numerically with large eddy simulation and experimentally with hot-wire anemometry and particle image velocimetry. The numerical simulation is performed using high-order schemes and a specific immersed boundary method. The present study focuses on turbulence statistics and power spectra in the near wake up to ten diameters. Statistical estimation is shown to need large integration times increasing the computational cost and leading to an uncertainty of about 10% for most flow characteristics considered in this study. The present numerical and experimental results are found to be in good agreement with previous large eddy simulation da...read more

TL;DR: It is shown that for the pressure treatment, an accurate Fourier representation can be used for more flexible boundary conditions than periodicity or free-slip, and this compromise fits particularly well for very high-resolution simulations of turbulent flows with relatively complex geometries without requiring heavy numerical developments.
