Abstract
An implicit, multigrid scheme has been extended to treat unsteady flows using the concept of temporal subiteration (or dual-time stepping, as it sometimes is called). The efficiency and accuracy of the subiterated, multigrid approach has been discussed in a previous paper. Here, the scheme is applied to compute the unsteady flow past fixed cylinders of square cross-section at moderate Reynolds numbers. The observed pattern of periodic vortex shedding is computed and the dimensionless frequency of this phenomenon (the Strouhal number) is compared with experimentally determined values. Results of coupled aeroelastic computations also are presented that illustrate a hysteresis phenomenon as the structural frequency is varied.
