Abstract
In this study, parallel computation of unsteady incompressible flow in an asymmetrically constricted 3D vessel has been presented. A time accurate cell centered finite volume method (FVM) in conjunction with pseudo-compressibility technique and Roe's flux difference splitting of nonlinear terms has been employed for solving the Navier-Stokes (NS) equations on the multiple instruction multiple data (MIMD) machine VPP700. The influence of Reynolds' number ( Re ) and the Strouhal number ( St ) on flow dynamic factors like wall pressure (WP), wall shear stress (WSS), central axis velocity (CAV), etc., have been analyzed. Three-dimensional (3D) features in the formation and detachment of separation zones, which are sensitive to both Re and St have been noticed on the diverging wall of the constriction.
