Abstract

Unsteady fully three-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations of viscous incompressible flow around finite length circular cylinder placed between two circular plates is studied using finite difference numerical scheme. The algorithm uses iterative correction processes of the velocity and the vorticity fields in order to satisfy the two divergence free conditions. In order to study the three-dimensional effects, results are presented for this external flow with Re=800 for different cylinder lengths.
