Investigation of flow over a cylinder and sphere for various Reynolds numbers
Flow over a sphere is very important in various engineering applications and energy systems, pollution diffusion, ship hydrodynamics, etc. because of its shape. The effect of the Reynolds number on the boundary layer on
the spherical body can be classified into three categories. When the
Reynolds number is below 2×105, it is called subcritical rangeWhen the Reynolds number reaches above 3.5×106 it is called
the supercritical region,The Reynolds number range from 2×105 to 3.5×106 is
called the critical rangeAs the general shape of a sphere seems
to be laminar, our present interest is to investigate the flow over a
sphere in turbulent boundary layer at Re ≈3×104
Numerical simulations of the flow around a sphere have been
carried out using ANSYS CFD, in a procedure
beginning with creating a geometrical model of the measuring
section, generating a discretization mesh and defining all necessary
pre-processing parameters, such as boundary condition, turbulent
models, fluid properties and other physical parameters.
