SIMULATIONS OF A VISCOUS FLOW AROUND A CIRCULAR CYLINDER BY A HIGHER-ORDER ACCURATE DIFFERENCE METHOD

A higher-order accurate finite-difference solution method is developed for three-dimentional incompressible viscous flows. The Navier-Stokes equations in rotational form are solved in boundary- fitted coordinates. A fourth order compact scheme is used for the space differencing in order to have an adequate degree of accuracy for viscous flow problems. Viscous flows around a circular cylinder are solved for R=100 and 1000. The simulated twin vortices and secondary twin vortices show fairly good agreement with experimental results.
