Abstract

The paper is concerned with experimental studies and numerical modelling of the air flow around blunt bodies (cylinder, aerodynamic profile) inside a wind tunnel. The range of the investigated Reynolds numbers is 12000<Re<35000. The main goal of the work is to establish a CFD procedure to analyse the flow pattern in the vicinity of the bodies and to predict the position of the boundary layer detachment. The computations are performed with several turbulence models implemented in the ANSYS Fluent code. The direct visualizations and the numerical results are corroborated, with the aim to investigate the positions of the separation points and the flow spectrum developed downstream the bodies.
