    Numerical simulation of laminar flow past a circular cylinder
    (2009) Rajani, B.N.; Kandasamy, A.; Majumdar, S.
    The present paper focuses on the analysis of two- and three-dimensional flow past a circular cylinder in different laminar flow regimes. In this simulation, an implicit pressure-based finite volume method is used for time-accurate computation of incompressible flow using second order accurate convective flux discretisation schemes. The computation results are validated against measurement data for mean surface pressure, skin friction coefficients, the size and strength of the recirculating wake for the steady flow regime and also for the Strouhal frequency of vortex shedding and the mean and RMS amplitude of the fluctuating aerodynamic coefficients for the unsteady periodic flow regime. The complex three dimensional flow structure of the cylinder wake is also reasonably captured by the present prediction procedure. © 2008 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

    Entrance region flow heat transfer in concentric annuli with rotating inner wall for bingham fluid
    (Budapest University of Technology and Economics office@pp.bme.hu Budafoki ut 4 Budapest H-1111, 2016) Nadiminti, S.R.; Kandasamy, A.
    A finite difference analysis of the entrance region flow heat transfer of Bingham fluid in concentric annuli with rotating inner wall has been carried out. The analysis is made for simultaneously developing hydrodynamic and thermal boundary layer in concentric annuli with one wall being isothermal and other one being adiabatic. The inner cylinder is assumed to be rotating with a constant angular velocity and the outer cylinder being stationary. A finite difference analysis is used to obtain the velocity distributions, pressure drop and temperature variations along the radial direction. Computational results are obtained for various values of aspect ratio N, Bingham number B and Prandtl's number. Comparison of the present results with the results available in literature for various particular cases has been done and found to be in agreement.
