Determination of the Diameter of a Cylinder to Insertion in a Low-speed Wind Tunnel based on EFD and CFD VASCONCELLOS, Guilherme L.F. de1, a, QUEIROZ, Matheus D. de1,2, b, LEDO, Luiz F.
The approaches used were the experimental fluid dynamics (EFD) by the use of Pitot tube and hot wire anemometer (HWA) and the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations, performed with ANSYS CFX software.
They should be tested through experiments or approximated by the CFD techniques, like in flow around circular cylinders case.
CFD techniques are not able to replace the experimental tests, since they require experimental validation, usually made in wind tunnels [8].
Velocity profile validation EFD x CFD As can be seen, the numerical results were validated showing better agreement with the hot wire anemometry technique.
