Numerical modeling of the pressure coefficient of the circular cylinder

Abstract

The article examines the possibilities of numerical solution of chimney load from the effect of wind. The shear-stress transport (SST) k-omega turbulence model in ANSYS Fluent software is used to evaluate the task of the flow around the circumference of the rough cylinder. Calculations are performed on two different meshes that lead to the solution using wall function and near wall modeling. These two solution approaches in terms of defining wall roughness are presented in the paper by evaluating of the time dependence of the mean pressure coefficient distribution at the circumference, drag coefficient, and lift coefficient. The accuracy of the calculations is verified with parameters determined according to valid standards.
