The Effects of Fluid Boundary Types on Flow around and Heat Transfer from an Elliptical Cylinder

Article Preview

Abstract:

A numerical study was conducted to examine the flow field around and heat transfer from an elliptical cylinder of AR=0.5 in two types of the annular boundary and rectangular one. The fluid near the surface separates from the cylinder surface and forms a steady recirculation bubble at the rear end of the cylinder at the first critical Reynolds (Rec1). The vortices begins the alternating separation at the second critical Reynolds (Rec2). Rec1 and Rec2 for the fluid in two boundary types are studied. The Nusselt numbers are compared at Rec1 and Rec2 respectively.
