Abstract |
In the present study, the flow around a circular cylinder at $Re=3.6{ ime}10^6$ is numerically simulated using URANS approach. The objective of this study is to evaluate the turbulence models(Realizable k-${varepsilon}$, RNG k-${varepsilon}$) through the prediction of the unsteady flow characteristics around the cylinder. The time-averaged drag coefficients and vortex shedding phenomenon in the wake region are compared to available experimental data and other numerical results. The simulation with Realizable k-${varepsilon}$ model is found to be more dissipative due to large eddy viscosity predicted in the wake region while the simulation with RNG k-${varepsilon}$ model predicts a complex vortex shedding phenomenon with more coherent structures realistically. |
