Abstract
Recently external flow over body creates more interest of study because flow characteristics are dominated by complex phenomenon like separation and transition.in this paper turbulent flow over a 2-D prolate spheroid (6:1) is consider for analysis. Generation of surface grid around prolate spheroid by using grid generation code MESHGEN. Laminar and turbulent Flow past given geometry is simulated by Navier-stoke code RANS3D by second order upwind scheme for convective flux discretization by k-ε model for different Reynolds number, angles of attack .It is observed that the value of drag coefficient is lower than that of a cylinder due to its more streamlined contour. The variation of Cd was steeper in the laminar range than the turbulent range due to the effects of viscous forces being greater in laminar flow.
