Vortex shedding around a 2d cylinder in openfoam


  • Vortex Shedding around a 2D Cylinder in OpenFOAM

Description:

Transient simulation of incompressible flow over a two-dimensional cylinder is performed in OpenFOAM with pisoFoam solver. The computational domain consists of a cylinder with a radius of 0.5m. The velocity inlet boundary is located at 11.5m and the pressure outlet boundary is 20m from the origin. C

ylinder walls and the domain walls are treated with no-slip boundary conditions. At Reynolds Number 100, the transient simulation is carried out to visualize the Karman vortex street.
