Hello!
I am undertaking a small side-module at my college involving Star CCM+. Our task for this is to create a cylinder with vortex shedding off of it, we are meant to use a quite low reynolds number (I have chosen 200). My questions are: What would be the best meshing models for the cylinder? And what sizes would you advise for the best mix of good results, but not huuge simulation time? What physics models should I use? I assume that because the Re number is low, the model should be Laminar, constant density, segregated flow etc? Many thanks to you all! Oh, and its a 2D model at the moment, maybe 3D later, are there any things I should change when transitioning between the two? Thanks ![]() |

My other question is, they are using a turbulent model, whereas I think mine should be modelled as laminar? (Because the Re is 200). BUT, a friend of mine just suggested we use a transient model, like k-epsilon with turbulence suppression before the cylinder, to model vortex shedding from the cylinder? Do you back up his idea, or is he wrong? I am achieving shedding with laminar, but I am now concerned whether it should be modelled with turbulence! Many thanks Also, your blog is very interesting, aerospace is an area I am certainly looking to do a degree related to! |
