Abstract

—The influence of the body shape on gas cooling (decrease in the stagnation temperature) in regions of reduced total enthalpy in the wake is studied. The problem is simulated by numerically solving the Navier–Stokes equations for a two-dimensional viscous perfect gas flow around thermally insulated bodies at the Reynolds number {text{Re}} = 1000 and the Mach number {{{text{M}}}_{infty }} = 0.4. Elliptic-cross-section cylinders and a pair of side-by-side circular cylinders located across the flow are considered. The accuracy of the results of simplified models for describing the phenomenon based on the velocity field in the developed wake is discussed. Some examples that demonstrate that neglecting the total enthalpy redistribution during the vortex formation process in such models can lead to considerable deviations from the data of numerical calculations in vortex cores are given.
