Abstract
A new hybrid model, which is based on domain decomposition and proposed by the authors, is used for calculating the flow around a circular cylinder at low and middle Keulegan-Carpenter numbers (Kc=2−18) respectively. The vortex motion patterns in asymmetric regime, single pair (or transverse) regime and double pair (or diagonal) regime are successfully simulated. The calculated drag and inertial force coefficients are in better agreement with experimental data than other recent computational results.
