Abstract

This paper presents the numerical model of the measuring stand - the wind tunnel, in which there is fixed a cylinder with a turbulent inlet oscillating stream. The aim of this work is the juxtaposition and comparison of characteristic values concerning the oscillating turbulent flow around the cylinder, obtained from the experiment conducted in the wind tunnel at the Institute of Thermal Machinery with the data obtained as a result of numerical modelling of unsteady phenomena. The model discussed in this paper was created using a commercial program ANSYS FLUENT that is used for mathematical modelling of flow and heat transfer processes. The expected outcome of this study is possibility of the numerical modelling of the stand concerning the analogous unsteady flows without significant invest- ment of time. Comparison of longitudinal and transverse velocity profiles in aerodynamic wake and the pressure coefficient distributions on the cylinder surface show similarities between experimental and numerical studies.
