Abstract
Flow past a smooth circular cylinder at high Reynolds number (Re=3.6 x 106) which covers the upper-transition regime has been investigated numerically by using Open source Field Operation and Manipulation (OpenFOAM) package. OpenFOAM is a free, open source Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) software package. The numerical model has been set up as two dimensional (2D), transient, incompressible and turbulent flow. A standard high Reynolds number k-ε turbulence model is included to evaluate the turbulence. The objective of the present work is to set up the case using pimpleFoam solver which is an Unsteady Reynolds Averaged Simulations (URANS) model and to evaluate the model for its conformance with available literature and experiments. The results obtained are compared with experimental and numerical data.
