UNRAVELING VORTEX DYNAMICS: LARGE-SCALE DETACHED EDDY SIMULATION OF CIRCULAR CYLINDER AERODYNAMICS

Abstract

This research delves into the intricate realm of vortex dynamics in circular cylinder aerodynamics using Large-Scale Detached Eddy Simulation (LES). Vortex shedding phenomena from circular cylinders are of paramount importance in various engineering applications, from civil infrastructure to aerospace design. By employing LES, this study aims to unravel the complex interactions and behaviors of vortices as they detach from the cylinder surface. Through detailed numerical simulations and comprehensive data analysis, insights are gained into the evolution, shedding frequencies, and flow structures associated with these vortices. The findings contribute to a deeper understanding of vortex dynamics, aiding in the optimization of aerodynamic designs and enhancing the efficiency and safety of engineering systems.
