✦ Synopsis

Unsteady flow around a circular cylinder at postcritical Reynolds numbers is simulated by the vortex method with a boundary-layer turbulence model. In the fractional step scheme, the vortex-in-cell method with a polar mesh is used for the convection of point vortices and random walks are superimposed to simulate turbulent mixing in the boundary region. The eddy viscosity is determined from the vorticity distribution through an algebraic turbulence model. Transport of vorticity, in a spatially varying viscosity field, requires theoretical development of the random-walk method. Convergence tests for the symmetric early stages of impulsively started flow are used to determine appropriate numerical parameters. The computation is then advanced to longer times, allowing the flow to reach a stationary, nearly periodic state. The mean pressure distribution and the vortex shedding frequency compare reasonably with experimental data.

Time-dependent cross-flow was studied around cylinders with circular and noncircular cross-sections. The numerical approach for the analysis was a low-order panel method based on constant source and dipole values along each panel. The method was previously used successfully for several applications,

## Abstract In this paper the vortex shedding around a heated/cooled circular cylinder is numerically simulated by solving the time‐dependent Navier‐Stokes and energy equations. A finite element method that is referred to as the three‐step Taylor‐Galerkin method is used to compute these equations.
