Visualization of flowfield around Two Circular Cylinders by a Discrete Vortex Method

이산와법에 의한 2원주 주위의 유동장 가시화

The Flow patterns around two cylinders in various arrangements were studied by a discrete vortex method. The flow for the surface of each cylinder was represented by arranging bound vortices at adequate intervals. The viscous diffusion of fluid was represented by the random walk method. The vortex distributions, streaklines, timelines and velocity vectors around two cylinders were calculated for centre-to-centre pitch rations of P/D=1.5 and 2.5, attack angles of $\alpha=0^{\circ},\;30^{\circ},\;60^{\circ},\;and\;90^{\circ}$, correspond to the photographs by flow visualization and the flow intereference between two cylinders in var ious arrangements was clearly visualized by a numerical simulation.
