Abstract
Aerodynamic behaviours of two-dimensional unsteady flows around rectan gular cylinders are numerically investigated by third-order upwind fin ite element computation of the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations. A turbulence model, such as the two-equation model, is not incorporat ed in the computational scheme, so that the rectangular cylinders, at depth-breadth ratios from 0.7 to 4, to be considered, are located in a uniform flow. It is found that the numerical results of flows around the rectangular cylinders, obtained by using the third-order upwind fi nite element scheme, are in good agreement with other computational an d experimental results.
