Simulation of the Flow around and Estimation of The Force Exerted to a Cylindrical Body By the Discrete Vertex Method
Abstract
Vortex shedding from a circular cylinder is simulated by means of the discrete vortex method. The shear layer emanating from the separation point is approximated as a sheet vortex which is in turn represented by a sequence of discrete vortices. The strength of these vortices is calculated from the vorticity shedding rate and introduced at a small distance off the side (
