Description
Summary:Comparison of wake behind finned cylinders with fin pitch variations in cross-flow has been done with computational fluid dynamics analysis. Finned cylinder modeled in GAMBIT and simulated in FLUENT software with a Reynolds number of 2.5 × 104 based on the cylinder diameter and the average velocity inlet. The velocity profiles of numerical simulation results indicate that the area of the wake behind the finned cylinder with a fin pitch of 10 mm wider than the circular cylinder and another finned cylinder.
