M. Tech Thesis : “ CFD study
of Momentum and Heat Transfer from an asymmetrically confined circular cylinder
in
a plane channel”, under the guidance of Dr. Nishith Verma and Prof. R. P. Chhabra.
Details of Research work carried out during M.
Tech:
· CFD study of the transition of flow past a
circular cylinder from steady to unsteady in unbounded domain using 2-D
·
Study of the transition
of flow past a circular cylinder from 2-D unsteady regime to 3-D unsteady
regime using 3-D
unsteady
numerical simulations.
·
Study of the transition
of flow past an asymmetrically confined circular cylinder in a plane channel
from 2-D unsteady
to
2-D unsteady flow.
· Study of the effect of asymmetry and the
blockage on Drag coefficient, Heat transfer coefficient and the frequency
of
vortex shedding from the cylinder in a plane channel.
