Abstract
The current research work investigates numerically the turbulent flow field characteristics around three dimensional circular cylinder of finite height at Reynolds number of 43000 using Detached Eddy Simulation (DES) turbulence model. Comparison of the numerical results with the experiment data has been taken place. The results reveals that the DES turbulence model is superior for predicting the flow past the circular cylinder of finite height at this Re. The numerical results of this study show the great potential of the presented DES for investigating the complicated flow structure in this case. DES is very accurate for predicting the flow characteristics in many sophisticated cases and can reduce the computational efforts during the simulation process in comparison with Large Eddy Simulation (LES) turbulence mathematical model.
期刊介绍:
TJPRC: Journal of Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering (JNAME) is a peer reviewed journal and it provides a forum for engineers and scientists from a wide range of disciplines to present and discuss various phenomena in the utilization and preservation of ocean environment. Without being limited by the traditional categorization, it is encouraged to present advanced technology development and scientific research, as long as they are aimed for more and better human engagement with ocean environment. Topics include, but not limited to: marine hydrodynamics; structural mechanics; marine propulsion system; design methodology & practice; production technology; system dynamics & control; marine equipment technology; materials science; under-water acoustics; satellite observations; and information technology related to ship and marine systems; ocean energy systems; marine environmental engineering; maritime safety engineering; polar & arctic engineering; coastal & port engineering; aqua-cultural engineering; sub-sea engineering; and specialized water-craft engineering. International Journal of Naval Architecture and Ocean Engineering is published quarterly by the Society of Naval Architects of Korea. In addition to original, full-length, refereed papers, review articles by leading authorities and articulated technical discussions of highly technical interest are also published.
