Abstract

The flow around a surface‐mounted circular cylinder, of height/diameter ratio 1 with a free end, is simulated using large‐eddy simulation (LES) and detached‐eddy simulation (DES) at a Reynolds number based on diameter of 200 000. A comparison is made between the abilities of the two models to capture flow features observed in particle image velocimetry (PIV) experiments carried out by the authors. The flow contains three interacting features formed from the junction flow between the cylinder and the ground, separation from the cylinder wall and resultant turbulent wake, and the flow over the free‐end of the cylinder. Both LES and DES overpredict the length of the recirculation region by 30%, but the turbulence quantities are close to the measured values. The topology of the flow over the free‐end is confirmed as consisting of an arch or ‘mushroom’ vortex. Due to the high Reynolds number the grid resolution is insufficient to resolve the approaching ground‐plane boundary layer flow with LES, leading to inaccuracies in the horseshoe vortex system. The DES model improves this area, though still has grid induced separation effects. Copyright © 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
