Flow simulations over two circular cylinders in tandem are carried out at a Reynolds number of 100, using a fully coupled resolution method for solving the two-dimensional Navier–Stokes equations. A critical cylinder spacing was found between 3.95 and 4.0 cylinder diameters. The fluctuating forces jumped appreciably at this critical gap, like the shedding frequency and the mean drag.
L'écoulement autour de deux cylindres circulaires en tandem de diamètre D est simulé numériquement, pour un nombre de Reynolds de 100. L'écoulement est laminaire et bidimensionnel. Une méthode de résolution totalement couplée permet de résoudre les équations de Navier–Stokes. La distance critique entre les cylindres est précisément définie entre 3,95D et 4,0D. La moyenne et la fluctuation des efforts ainsi que la fréquence de lâcher des vortex changent brutalement pour cet écartement.
