Abstract
This paper describes the validation of Virtual Flux Method (VFM) to forced convection flows. The method, one of Cartesian grid methods, can sharply capture boundaries. The method is also designed to calculate flows inside and outside boundaries seamlessly, while many Cartesian grid methods are not. This method is applied to forced convection flows around a circular cylinder and a pair of circular cylinders. The results are well compared with other available numerical results and experiments. Also, heat/fluid flow fields inside and outside a circular cylinder where a heater is placed at the center of the cylinder are seamlessly calculated. These results indicate the reliability of VFM for forced convection flows.
