โฆ Synopsis
A computational study of the development of two-dimensional unsteady viscous incompressible flow around a circular cylinder and elliptic cylinders is undertaken at a Reynolds number of 10,000. A higher-order upwind scheme is used to solve the Navier-Stokes equations by the finite difference method in order to study the onset of computed asymmetry around bluff bodies. For the computed cases the ellipses develop asymmetry much earlier than the circular cylinder. The receptivity of the computed flows in the presence of discrete roughness and surface vibration is studied. Finally, the role of discrete roughness in triggering asymmetry for flow past a circular cylinder is studied and compared with flow visualization experiments at Re = 10,000

Flow past a transversely vibrating circular cylinder is numerically simulated by solving the Navier}Stokes equations and by implementing a modi"ed velocity correction method. Galerkin weighted residual formulation is employed for the spatial discretization along with a second order Runge}Kutta time
In various numerical solutions of flow around bluff bodies the unbounded physical domain is replaced by a restricted computational one whose extent depends on the size of the computational grid network. The truncation of the solution domain in the cross-flow direction reduces the computer time requi
The turbulent flow past a circular cylinder (Re=3900) was computed by large eddy simulation (LES). The objective was not to investigate the physical phenomena of this flow in detail but to study numerical and modeling aspects which influence the quality of LES solutions. Concerning the numerical met
