Abstract
A finite element method is used to study the effect of flow past a cir cular cylinder with an integral wake splitter. A fractional step algor ithm is employed to solve the Navier-Stokes and Energy equations with a Galerkin weighted residual formulation. The vortex shedding process is simulated and the effect of splitter addition on the time period of shedding is studied at a Reynolds number of 200 and a blockage ratio of 0.25. The effect of splitter and the Strouhal number and heat trans fer augmentation per unit pressure drop has been investigated.
