Flow over a cylinder
Aim :- To Calculate the Reynolds number for the baseline simulation
Run transient flow simulation for an increasing Reynolds Number by factor of 20% , 40% , 100% of baseline Reynolds Number.
Calculate he baseline case Reynolds number.
- Re = rho*U_inlet*D/mu
- D = cylinder diameter
- mu = dynamic viscosity
- rho = density
Running a baseline simulation and then calculating the Reynolds number.
Then increase the Reynolds number by a factor of 20%, 40%, and 100% then run the transient flow simulation.
Assumptions :- 1)Effect of temperature is not considered in study.
2) Cylinder surface is smooth and roughness is considered zero.
Calculations :-
Case 1 At 20% of baseline Reynold number
Re=16243.09 V = 12 M/s , Flow Time = 0.03sec
