In this problem we have a cylinder is place inside a large pipe through which a dummy fluid is
flowing , such that its curved surface is perpendicular to flow of fluid
We have to see velocity profile in this channel in three different cases
1.When flow is laminar and steady (for Re. No. =1)
2.When flow is laminar and unsteady (for Re. No. = 272)
3.When flow is turbulent and unsteady (For Re. No. = 2902)
The given velocity is 0.5 m/s, diameter of cylinder is 1m, length of pipe is 15m diameter of
pipe is 5m,centre of the cylinder is 2.5 m from pipe entrance and 2.5 m from pipe bottom
Use of quick ,second order, simple solution method
First case use laminar and viscous model with steady mode
Second case use laminar viscous, transient mode ,define time step size
Third case have to be done in two manner
First with k-e model
The n with RSM model
