Numerical Analysis of Oscillating Flow about a Circular Cylinder

The views expressed in this thesis are those of the author and do not reflect the
official policy or position of the Department of Defense or the U.S. Government. / The numerical experiments, carried out through the use of a pressure-velocity coupled
method to solve the Favre Averaged Navier-Stokes equations, on steady and sinusoidally
oscillating flows at five different Keluegan-Carpenter numbers, and three periodicity levels are
described. A second-order in time, second-order in space, second-level predictor-corrector
finite difference scheme has been used. The solutions were solved by the CFD-ACE program
from the CFD Research Corporation. The analysis has produced in-line force coefficients
comparable to those obtained experimentally for sinusoidally-oscillating flows.
