Steady flow across a confined square cylinder: Effects of power-law index and blockage ratio

The effect of blockage ratio on the flow characteristics of power-law fluids across a square cylinder confined in a channel has been investigated for the range of conditions 1 ≤ Re ≤ 45, 0.5 ≤ n ≤ 2.0 and β = 1/8, 1/6 and 1/4. Extensive numerical results on the individual and total drag coefficients...

description The effect of blockage ratio on the flow characteristics of power-law fluids across a square cylinder confined in a channel has been investigated for the range of conditions 1 ≤ Re ≤ 45, 0.5 ≤ n ≤ 2.0 and β = 1/8, 1/6 and 1/4. Extensive numerical results on the individual and total drag coefficients, wake length, stream function, vorticity and power-law viscosity on the surface of the square cylinder are reported to determine the combined effects of the flow behavior index, blockage ratio and Reynolds number. The size of the wake region is influenced more by blockage than by power-law index. Similarly, drag is also seen to be more influenced by blockage ratio and the Reynolds number than that by the power-law index.
